Tao Te Ching 52

 Tao Te Ching 52

The world had a beginning which we call the Great Mother.

Once we have found the Mother, we begin to know what her children should be.

When we know we are the Mother's child, we begin to guard the qualities of the Mother in us.

She will protect us from all danger even if we lose our life.

Keep your mouth closed and embrace a simple life, and you will live care-free until the end of your days.

If you try to talk your way into a better life there will be no end to your trouble.

To understand the small is called clarity.

Knowing how to yeild is called strength.

To use your inner light for understanding regardless of the danger is called depending on the Constant.

Lao Tzu
