Explanation Of Tao Tao Ching Part Twenty Nine 

“Do you think you can take over the universe and improve it?
I do not believe it can be done. 

The universe is sacred.
You cannot improve it.
If you try to change it, you will ruin it.”

Without a doubt the universe is a delicate balance. From the from stillness to movement, this movement creates an ever spiralling world of opposites always seeking balance. This is karma, the quality of nature, every action creates a reaction. It would take far more than any human mind to create better.

“If you try to hold it, you will lose it. 

So sometimes things are ahead and sometimes they are behind;
Sometimes breathing is hard, sometimes it comes easily;
Sometimes there is strength and sometimes weakness;
Sometimes one is up and sometimes down. 

Therefore the sage avoids extremes, excesses, and complacency.”

Karma in action, the ebb and flow of life, good creates bad and bad creates good this is painful in extremes but if we understand how one creates the other and can avoid them along with excesses and complacency, we can live a reasonably untroubled life.
