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.

Maintaining

quiet awareness from

moment to moment, you’ll see

that your enlightenment is not separate

from the ordinary world but one with it.

It doesn’t come from some distance to

get to you and it doesn’t go away

when you stop attending to it.

Make awareness continuous,

though, and it will

surround

you.

tolerating disarray, remaining at rest

ap

 

A sage is subtle,

intuitive, penetrating, profound. 

His depths are mysterious and

unfathomable. 

 

The best one can do is

describe his appearance: the sage

is alert as a person crossing a winter stream; as

circumspect as a person with neighbors on all four sides; 

as respectful as a thoughtful guest; as yielding as

melting ice; as simple as uncarved wood; 

as open as a valley; as chaotic

as a muddy torrent. 

 

Why “chaotic

as a muddy torrent”? 

Because clarity is learned by

being patient  in the

heart of chaos. 

 

Tolerating

disarray, remaining at rest, 

gradually one learns to allow muddy water to

settle and proper responses to reveal themselves. 

Those who aspire to tao don’t long for fulfillment. 

They selflessly allow tao to use and deplete

them; they calmly allow tao to renew

and complete them.
