Tao Te Ching Verse Five: Between Heaven and Earth
Posted by Ken Lauher on Mon, Jan 26, 2009 @ 06:24 AM
Heaven and earth are impartial;
they see the 10,000 things as straw dogs. The sage is not sentimental;
he treats all his people as straw dogs.
The sage is like heaven and earth:
To him none are especially dear,
nor is there anyone he disfavors.
He gives and gives, without condition,
offering his treasures to everyone.
Between heaven and earth
is a space like a bellows;
empty and inexhaustible,
the more it is used, the more it produces.
Hold on to the center.
Man was made to sit quietly and find
the truth within.
