marry yourself to the oneness

clark little

 

Can you

marry your spirit and

body to the oneness and

never depart

from it?

 

Can you

ride your breath until

your entire being is as supple

as the body of an

infant?

 

Can you cleanse

your inner vision until you

see heaven in every

direction?

 

Can you love

people and govern them

without conniving and

manipulating?

 

Can you bear

heaven’s children in all

that you do and

are?

 

Can you give

the wisdom of your heart

precedence over the

learning of your

head?

 

Giving birth,

nourishing life,

shaping things without

possessing them, serving without

expectation of reward, leading without

dominating: these are the profound

virtues of nature, and of nature’s

best beings.

to follow tao without straying

stay stoked

 

In

governing people

and serving heaven, there

is nothing better than moderation. 

To be moderate is to follow Tao without straying. 

To follow Tao without straying is to become filled with

good energy. To be filled with good energy is to

overcome all things. To overcome all things

is to know that all things are possible. 

She who knows that all things are

possible is fit to govern

people. 

 

Because

she is one with the mother, 

her roots go deep, her foundation

stands firm, her life lasts

long, her vision

endures.

the oneness gives birth

 

Nonbeing gives

birth to the oneness.

The oneness gives birth to yin and

yang. Yin and yang give birth to heaven,

earth, and beings. Heaven, earth, and

beings give birth to everything

in existence.

 

Therefore everything

in existence carries within it both

yin and yang, and attains its harmony by

blending together these two

vital breaths.

 

Ordinary people

hate nothing more than to be

powerless, small, and unworthy.

Yet this is how superior people

describe themselves.

 

Gain is loss.

Loss is gain.

 

I repeat what others have said:

The strong and violent don’t die natural deaths.

This is the very essence of my teaching.
