Stay

centered in the tao

and the world comes to you: 

comes, and isn’t harmed; 

comes, and finds

contentment. 

 

Most

travelers are drawn

to music and good food. 

When tao is talked about, the words

can seem bland and flavorless. Looked at,

it may not catch the eye. Listened to,

it might not seduce the ear. 

Used, it can never be

exhausted.

heaven’s secret is motherly love

support sheldrick wildlife trust

 

Everyone

under heaven says that

my tao is great, but inconceivable. 

It is its very greatness that makes it inconceivable! 

If it could be conceived of, how small

it would be! 

 

I have three

treasures to hold and protect: 

The first is motherly love. The second

is economy. The third is daring

not to be first in the

world. 

 

With motherly

love one can be courageous. 

With economy one can be expansive. 

With humility one

can lead. 

 

To be

courageous without motherly love, 

To be expansive without practicing economy, 

To go to the front without humility — 

this is courting death. 

 

Venture with

love and you win the

battle. Defend with love and you are

invulnerable. Heaven’s secret is

motherly love.
