>From the "Tao Te Ching" by Lao Tzu, translated by Arthur Waley (Wordsworth

Classics, 1997):

 

Chapter 52:

 

that which was the beginning of all things under heaven

we may speak of as the "mother" of all things

he who apprehends the mother

thereby knows the sons

and he who knows the sons

will hold all the tighter to the mother

and to the end of his days suffer no harm

block the passages, shut the doors

and till the end your strength shall not fail

(...)

 

he who having used the outer-light can return to the inner-light

is thereby preserved from all harm

this is called resorting to the always-so

 

---

 

 

Love,

 

Amanda.
