Men are born soft and supple;
dead, they are stiff and hard.
Plants are born tender and pliant;
dead, they are brittle and dry.
Thus whoever is stiff and inflexible
is a disciple of death.
Whoever is soft and yielding
is a disciple of life.
The hard and stiff will be broken.
The soft and supple will prevail.
(translation by Stephen Mitchell, 1995)
-+-+-+-
While alive, the body is soft and pliant
When dead, it is hard and rigid
All living things, grass and trees,
While alive, are soft and supple
When dead, become dry and brittle
Thus that which is hard and stiff
is the follower of death
That which is soft and yielding
is the follower of life
Therefore, an inflexible army will not win
A strong tree will be cut down
The big and forceful occupy a lowly position
While the soft and pliant occupy a higher place
(translation by Derek Lin, 2006)
-+-+-+-
Be soft and be immortal.
Be the bully and be destroyed.
How many times must this lesson be taught?
(translation by Jeremy M. Miller, 2013)

Allow people to see who you are rather than try to win their favor. Let good fortune come to you rather than going after it.

Meditation: Meditate on Nothing to Find Prosperity – 19930421
See previous reading
When taxes are too high,
people go hungry.
When the government is too intrusive,
people lose their spirit.
Act for the people’s benefit.
Trust them; leave them alone.

Because of the widespread mistrust of everything, including the Truth, it is better to hide your worth, sparing yourself an onslaught of attacks, until the climate changes.

Meditation: NM374 – 20001128 – Patience and Intuition
See previous reading
If you realize that all things change,
there is nothing you will try to hold on to.
If you aren’t afraid of dying,
there is nothing you can’t achieve.
Trying to control the future
is like trying to take the master carpenter’s place.
When you handle the master carpenter’s tools,
chances are that you’ll cut your hand.

In this dangerous time it is wise to allow your intuition to take precedence over customary forms in your thought, actions and speech.

Meditation: NM0413 – Intuition and the Strength of Excellence
See previous reading
The Tao is always at ease.
It overcomes without competing,
answers without speaking a word,
arrives without being summoned,
accomplishes without a plan.
Its net covers the whole universe.
And though its meshes are wide,
it doesn’t let a thing slip through.

Retell The Magical Story of Mushkil Gusha over a meal with friends today.
When they lose their sense of awe,
people turn to religion.
When they no longer trust themselves,
they begin to depend upon authority.
Therefore the Master steps back
so that people won’t be confused.
He teaches without a teaching,
so that people will have nothing to learn.

Take care of what is most important; people in your life, yourself. Be mindful of what you consume and what you say. Nourish all of your relations.

Tao Te Ching – Verse 71 – Not-knowing is true knowledge. Presuming to know is a disease.
Meditation: LA958 A00413 Grace My Grace Is Me! 20000413
See previous reading
Not-knowing is true knowledge.
Presuming to know is a disease.
First realize that you are sick;
then you can move toward health.
The Master is her own physician.
She has healed herself of all knowing.
Thus she is truly whole.

Unless there is a clear and present danger, it is better to tolerate the fool in his folly than to try to curtail his actions. The latter tends to create further complications.

Meditation: LA907 – Kriya for Non-Reaction

My teachings are easy to understand
and easy to put into practice.
Yet your intellect will never grasp them,
and if you try to practice them, you’ll fail.
My teachings are older than the world.
How can you grasp their meaning?
If you want to know me,
look inside your heart. Continue reading “Tao Te Ching – Verse 70 – My teachings are easy to understand and easy to put into practice.”
Answer your higher calling when you are recognized. You are needed.

Tao Te Ching – Verse 69 – Rather than make the first move it is better to wait and see.

The generals have a saying:
“Rather than make the first move
it is better to wait and see.
Rather than advance an inch
it is better to retreat a yard.”
This is called
going forward without advancing,
pushing back without using weapons. Continue reading “Tao Te Ching – Verse 69 – Rather than make the first move it is better to wait and see.”
