RARITY VALUE

RIVERGOLD

True gold is neither real, nor solid;
yet abounds in greater riches.

No-one can own it.
Everyone can enjoy it.

Tao is not rare: it is all around.
Anyone who looks can see it
!

Tao is not faraway: it is ever within.
Anyone who seeks can find it!


Hold onto the Way.

Its value never falls.

ICON

 
Tao's perspective on wealth and enrichment is towards achieving and maintaining a balance between material and spiritual prosperity.
Ideally neither should be neglected, nor become over-emphasised - whether in an individual's life, an organisation, or even a civilisation.

In reality, a 'golden age' never seems to last for very long! New ideas, technologies or aspirations, arise to disturb the existing order.
Amidst uncertainty and confusion, Taoism offers an enduring and unpolarised approach towards shaping and guiding progress.
