TAO TE CHING verse 55 | Annastao Blog


He who is filled with virtue is like a newborn child

Wasps and serpents will not sting him

Wild beasts will not pounce upon him

He will not be attacked by birds of prey

His bones are soft, his muscles weak

But his grip is firm.

He has not experienced the union of man and woman, but is whole.

His manhood is strong

He screams all day without becoming hoarse

This is perfect harmony.

Knowing harmony is constancy

Knowing constancy is enlightment.

It is not wise to rush about

Controlling the breath causes strain

If too much energy is used, exhaustion follows.

This is not the way of Tao

Whatever is contrary to Tao will not last long
