The Tao Te Ching –Verses 4-6
Lao Tzu4
Tao’s a bottomless well
ever used, never drawn downCall it eternal no thing ness
an infinite no thing filled with all
a void of countless possibilitiesTao is hidden on our face
under our noseWhat made Tao is older than God
what made it, who knows?5
Tao has no bias
it’s even-handed with evil and good
The wise resemble Tao in this way
they deal with whatever Tao bringsTao is infinitely like a bellows
—hollow within, but useful
The more you empty it, the better it worksThe more you take it apart with talk
the harder it is to know it whole
and to make it blowDon’t wander from it’s center
6
Tao is the Great Mother
empty as a seed and infinitely as fertile
It gives inexhaustible fruitIt is always within you
You can use it any way you wantInterpretation by R. Bob
