The Way to Life - A Tao Te Ching

4

although Tao is empty
it is inexhaustible
it is deeper than the depths
it initiated all causes
it is the prime mover

Tao smooths jagged edges and resolves discord
unravels confusion and entanglement
softens even blinding glare
Tao is a tranquil ocean that permeates all form
and embraces the limits of time

I do not know how Tao came into being
it seems to be the origin of everything
