Tao deserves reverence,
but has no use for worship,
no need for recognition.


Tao can shine out from people
who have never heard of it,
or find it incomprehensible.

A vacuum seeks to be filled.
Create a space for Tao to flow in.
Become a blockhead to draw wisdom in.


Bow low:
Rise high!

Tao takes no heed of religious beliefs, but works more freely in those whose faith or morality encourages similar attitudes and values.
Tao works chiefly behind the scenes, inconspicuously and imperceptibly guiding decisions and actions; and takes no credit for outcomes. 


 To know Tao is ineffably more precious than to know about Tao. Indeed too much 'knowing about' can get in the way of 'knowing'.
Similar remarks apply to the appreciation of music, the enjoyment of sex, or the experience of riding a bicycle!
