Tao Te Ching

“A wise one is a person in whom the light has become the leading principle; who sees the world not only under the aspect of time, but sub speciae eternitatis, against the background of universal laws and forces; one who has overcome selfishness and is no more misled by the illusion of separateness. His illumination is complete transparence and spiritual openness, but not mental stagnation.”
