| One who remains rich in virtuous power Is like a newborn baby. Bees, scorpions and venomous snakes do not bite it, The wild beasts do not attack it, Birds of prey do not sink their claws into it. Though its bones are weak And muscles soft, Its grip is strong. Without knowing of the blending of male and female S/he is a perfect production, The ultimate in vitality. S/he cries all day without getting hoarse. S/he is the ultimate in harmony. Understanding harmony is called the Constant. Knowing the Constant is called illumination. Nourishing life is called blessing. Having control of your breath is called strength. After things blossom they decay, and This is called the non-Tao. The non-Tao expires quickly. |
