Carrying body and soul and embracing the one, | |||
Can you avoid separation? | |||
Attending fully and becoming supple, | |||
Can you be as a newborn babe? | |||
Washing and cleaning the primal vision, | |||
Can you be without stain? | |||
Loving all men and ruling the country, | |||
Can you be without cleverness? | |||
Opening and closing the gates of heaven, | |||
Can you play the role of woman? | |||
Understanding and being open to all things, | |||
Are you able to do nothing? | |||
Giving birth and nourishing, | |||
Bearing yet not possessing, | |||
Working yet not taking credit, | |||
Leading yet not dominating, | |||
This is the Primal Virtue. Lao Tsu |
Tao Te Ching #TEN
