Tao te Ching reading of the day

#56 Tao Te Ching


Those who know do not talk.
those who talk don't know.

Close your mouth,
block off your senses,
blunt your sharpness,
untie your knots,
soften your glare,
settle your dust.
This is primal identity.

Be like the Tao.
It can't be approached or withdrawn from,
benefitted of harmed,
honored or brought into disgrace.
It gives itself up continually.
That is why it endures.
