Tao of the Day

Your Daily Dose of Taoism

 

Chapter Seventy-Three

Having guts and being reckless will lead to death

Having guts and being cautious saves life

The first is useless; the other useful

Only one who is wise understands the course of things

Therefore he won’t intervene

It is easy to infringe upon the eternal laws of nature

But they always triumph

They don’t speak, yet they do answer

They don’t yell, yet everybody hears them

Like a net, the original order protects the Universe

Though its meshes seem wide, nothing can come through
