The Tao gives birth to one.
The one gives birth to two.
The two gives birth to three.
The three gives birth to ten-thousand things (everything).
Ten-thousand things carry the yin (the physical) and hold the yang (the spiritual) within.
The collision of these two vital forces (the chi) creates the totality that is humanity.
Widows and orphans can connect Heaven, Humanity and Earth.
The ministers who disdain them make titles for themselves.
Sometimes things decrease and there is a gain.
Sometimes with an increase, there is a loss.
The lessons of others are also my lessons.
The lessons of the forceful and aggressive do not create the necessary death.
I receive each lesson, thus making it a beginning. |
