Tao Te Ching 10

 Tao Te Ching 10

Nurture the darkness of your soul until you become whole.

Can you do this and not fail?

Can you focus your life-breath until you become supple as a newborn child?

While you cleanse your inner vision will you be found without fault?

Can you love people and lead them without forcing your will on them?

When Heaven gives and takes away can you be content with the outcome?

When you understand all things can you step back from your own understanding?

Giving birth and nourishing, making without possessing, expecting nothing in return.

To grow, yet not to control; This is the mysterious virtue.

Lao Tzu
