Tao Te Ching Part Twenty Three 

“To talk little is natural.
High winds do not last all morning.
Heavy rain does not last all day.
Why is this? Heaven and Earth!”

When everything is agitated and we feel pressured, we have to understand that it can’t last long because Yang has to pass to yin, it’s the way of nature.

“If heaven and Earth cannot make things eternal,
How is it possible for man? 

He who follows the Tao
Is at one with the Tao.
He who is virtuous
Experiences Virtue.”

Inside the infinite, when anything is defined it automatically creates the opposite. When we follow the Tao and are at one with it we become virtuous in the sense that the ‘self’ has ceased to exist so we cause no harm.

“He who loses the way
Is lost.
When you are at one with the Tao,
The Tao welcomes you.
When you are at one with Virtue,
The Virtue is always there.
When you are at one with loss,
The loss is experienced willingly. 

He who does not trust enough
Will not be trusted.”

If we lose contact with the infinite we become isolated. As long as we remain immersed in it we stay virtuous and untroubled by worldly loss because we know the illusion of life and the ‘self’.
