On the Tao

Feb 03, 2007 21:08

In the pursuit of knowledge,
every day something is added.
In the practice of the Tao,
every day something is dropped.
Less and less do you need to force things,
until you finally arrive at non-action. 
When nothing is done, 
nothing is left undone.

True mastery can be gained 
by letting things go their own way.
It can't be gained by interfering.

-  Lao Tzu  - Tao Te Ching
