Tao te Ching ch. 51 philosophy
@masefudogg | Stephen Mitchell | Lao Tzu
#taoism #philosophy #taoteching

Every being in the universe
is an expression of the Tao. 

It springs into existence, 

unconscious, perfect, free, 

takes on a physical body, 

lets circumstances complete it. 

That is why every being 

spontaneously honors the Tao.
The Tao gives birth to all beings,
nourishes them, maintains them, 

cares for them, comforts them,
protects them, 
takes them back to itself, 

creating without possessing, 

acting without expecting, 

guiding without interfering. 

That is why love of the Tao 

is in the very nature of things.
