I had a bit of a glitch and had to start a second Tao of the Day today when Johnny and Loyce joined me for #19 and #32.
#19 "Real Education"
Don’t aspire to be holy or smart,
You will finally find happiness,
Don’t inquire about morality or justice,
You will finally be perfect.
Don’t create things in order to profit,
You will finally be secure.
If all that fails to inspire you
Stay as humble and simple as possible
And at least you won’t be selfish.
#32 "It is Not What You Can See"
So subtle is Tao it has never been seen
And yet nothing that can be seen is without it.
When beings can remain centered in Tao
All that they perceive is in harmony.
As that harmony inspires actions,
Those action will have names,
Know that those names are provisional.
If those actions inspire institutions to form,
Know where their reach should end.
Inspired actions, although they may have names,
Those names needn’t be taken too seriously.
Tao is behind it all
Even if you cannot see it.
