Accepting the world,
you embrace Tao.

Bearing and nurturing,

Creating but not owning,

Giving without demanding,

Controlling without authority;

This is love!

— TAO TE CHING

A person in the Tao sees the world quite differently,
knowing that inner peace is power.
Less effort is actually easier -
work gets done when you lighten up internally and let yourself be moved along by the ceaseless Tao,
rather than by setting goals or meeting standards set by others.

Allow the Tao, and see the purity and clarity that originates from this vantage point.

Dr Wayne W. Dyer

Living the Wisdom of the Tao

[comments on 41st Verse of Tao Te Ching]

+

Teaching without words,
performing without actions -

few in the world can grasp it -

that is the master’s way.

Rare indeed are those
who obtain the bounty of this world.

If you realize that all things change, 

there is nothing you will try to hold on to.

The supreme good is like water,
which nourishes all things without trying to.
It is content with the low places that people disdain.
Thus it is like the Tao.

In dwelling, live close to the ground.
In thinking, keep to the simple.
In conflict, be fair and generous.
In governing, don’t try to control.
In work, do what you enjoy.
In family life, be completely present.

When you are content to be simply yourself
and don’t compare or compete,
everybody will respect you.

My teachings are very easy to understand 
and very easy to practice;
yet so few in this world understand,
and so few are able to practice.
Lao-tzu’s words - 70th Verse of Tao Te Ching

Tao Te Ching by Lao-tzu


The Tao is like a well:
used but never used up.
It is like the eternal void:
filled with infinite possibilities.

It is hidden but always present.
I don’t know who gave birth to it.
It is older than God.

Therefore the Master
acts without doing anything
and teaches without saying anything.
Things arise and she lets them come;
things disappear and she lets them go.
She has but doesn’t possess,
acts but doesn’t expect.
When her work is done, she forgets it.
That is why it lasts forever.
Tao Te Ching by Lao-tzu

+

When people see some things as beautiful,
other things become ugly.
When people see some things as good,
other things become bad.


Being and non-being create each other.
Difficult and easy support each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low depend on each other.
Before and after follow each other.

Tao Te Ching by Lao-tzu

The highest good is like water.
Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive.
It flows in places men reject and so is like the Tao.

In dwelling, be close to the land.
In meditation, go deep in the heart.
In dealing with others, be gentle and kind.
In speech, be true.
In ruling, be just.
In business, be competent.
In action, watch the timing.
