Today I kicked off with Jay K an #73 and Melissa came up after hearing a bit about Amma the Hugging Saint and chose #71. Cool Beans then came up for #24.
#24 "Do What is to be Done"
Standing on tiptoes robs you of firm footing.
Rushing ahead robs you of knowing where you are.
Looking at yourself robs you of seeing.
Boasting of yourself robs you of your brilliance.
Overpowering others robs you of your power.
Clinging to your work robs you of longevity.
If you want to align with Tao
Just do what is to be done and then stop.
#71 "To Know We Don't Know"
To be aware that one does not know is healthy for all things.
Avoiding awareness of this is a current plague.
By acknowledging you have been infected
You can become aware and move toward healing.
The Master has cured herself
She is aware that she does not know.
She is healthy in all aspects.
#73 "Nothing Falls Through"
There are men who love feeling, and to feel they kill.
There are men who love feeling, and to do so remain calm.
Who is to say which will experience more turmoil?
There is purpose in walking with death, as there is in walking with life.
The inner workings of Tao can never be understood;
It makes no commands, yet all things come on their own accord;
It never acts; but all things act on its behalf;
It is empty, yet within it lays all things and their Master Plans.
Tao is a net holding all things together, connected.
Its mesh is wide, but it holds so well nothing falls through.
