to follow tao without straying
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.

a treasure hidden inside
Do not go
about worshipping
deities and religious institutions
as the source of the subtle truth.
To do so is to place intermediaries
between yourself and the divine,
and to make of yourself a beggar
who looks outside for a treasure
that is hidden inside his
own breast.
If you want to worship the Tao,
first discover it in your own heart.
Then your worship will be meaningful.

go straight to the root
You who lack
self-discipline, be inquiring!
Going straight to the root is the hallmark
of the buddha; picking up leaves and collecting branches
is no use at all. Most people don’t know the pearl
that answers all wishes.
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.
