The Master leads by emptying people's minds
and filling their cores.
by weakening their ambition
and toughening their resolve.
He helps people lose everything
they know, everything they desire.
and creates confusion
in those who think that they know. - Lao Tzu
Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, Book of the Way is a guide to the art of living. Wisdom requires working for the good with effortless skill that comes from flowing in the moment and in accord with the Universe.
The Tao focuses on wei wu wei - doing and not doing. It is not passivity. A trained athlete enters a state of body-awareness. The conscious will does not intrude and the body moves by itself. The highest form of action occurs where the poem writes the poem, the game plays the game, and the dancer is the dance.
The doer has vanished into the deed. The fuel completely transformed into flame.
Lose everything you know and just flow with each moment. Once in this stream, you will feel the power of relenting to process. Notice a feeling of harmony by the way ideas come to you.
The more you let go, the more clear insights follow.
