Open Mind, Open Heart discussion

To talk a little is natural: Fierce winds do not blow all morning; a downpour of rain does not last the day. Who does this? Heavan and earth.

But these are exaggerated, forced effects, and that is why they cannot be sustained. If heavan and earth cannot sustain a forced action, how much less is man able to do?

Those who follow the Way become one with the Way. Those who follow goodness become one with goodness.
Those who stray from the Way and goodness become one with failure.

If you conform to the Way, its power flows through you. your actions become those of nature, your ways those of heavan.

Open yourself to the Tao and trust your natural responses...then everything will fall into place.

The ebb and flow of things is natural; constant change of things is the rythm of life, so don't get too attached to worldly things. Attempt to live in harmony with nature.Don't force your will on things. Difficulties in life come and go; that's life.
