Tao Te Ching 37

 Tao Te Ching 37

The Tao never acts with force, yet there is nothing that it can not do.

If rulers could follow the way of the Tao, then all of creation would willingly follow their example.

If selfish desires were to arise after their transformation, I would erase them with the power of the Uncarved Block.

By the power of the Uncarved Block, future generations would lose their selfish desires.

By losing their selfish desires, the world would naturally settle into peace.

Lao Tzu
