Guest guest Posted February 18, 2001 Report Share Posted February 18, 2001 Sustainer of all things.<br><br>The Great Tao flows everywhere.<br>It may go left or right.<br>All things depend on it for life, and it does not turn away from them.<br>It accomplishes its tasks, but does not claim credit for it.<br>It clothes and feeds all things, but does not claim to be master over them.<br>Always without desires, it may be called the Small.<br>All things come to it and it does not master them;<br>it may be called The Great.<br><br><br>Tao is incomprehensible to us by normal means or language.<br><br>We look at it and do not see it;<br>Its name is the invisible.<br>We listen to it and do not hear it;<br>Its name is the inaudible.<br>We touch it and do not find it;<br>Its name is the Subtle (formless).<br>These three cannot be further probed,<br>and hence merge into one . .. . <br>Infinite and boundless, it cannot be given any name;<br>It reverts to nothingness.<br>This is called shape without shape, form without object.<br>It is the vague and elusive.<br>Meet it and you will not see its head.<br>Follow it and you will not see its back.<br>.<br><br>The Tao that can be told of is not the eternal Tao;<br>the name that can be named is not the eternal name.<br>**************************************************<br>love and blessings, gypsymaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
