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.

tao te ching ☯️ chapter 60


 

Governing

a large country is like

cooking a small fish. If it’s done

in accordance with Tao,

nothing bad will

happen.

 

Guide

the world with Tao,

and evil won’t be a problem.

Not that it won’t be around, but it won’t

find an opening. When it can’t find

an opening, it can’t harm

anyone.

 

The sage

doesn’t harm anyone,

either. When there’s no harm on

this side, no harm on that,

goodness flows back

and forth like

water.

channel your energy toward the light


 

Don’t

think you can attain

total awareness and whole enlightenment

without proper discipline and practice. This is egomania.

Appropriate rituals channel your emotions and life

energy toward the light. Without the discipline

to practice them, you will tumble

constantly backward into

darkness.

 

Here is

the great secret:

Just as high awareness

of the subtle truth is gained through

virtuous conduct and sustaining disciplines,

so also is it maintained through these

things. Highly evolved beings

know and respect the

truth of this.
