Daodejing Poem 59

Singapore time 8.09 am 17th July 2008

Cure people, work for heaven, don't be stingy. oh yes, stingy, remedy is early submission. Early submission, it is called to value accumulated virtue; to value accumulated virtue however that none is not subdued, controlled. None is not subdued is however not to know its infinite resources. Not to know its infinite resources, then can have country. Having the country's mother, then it is lasting. This is called deep rooted solid stem (placenta), the everlasting life, lasting gaze 's Way.



To bring peace to the world, you mustn't be stingy, must be broadminded. Early submission is to surrender to the One inside you. Meditation will accumulate virtue. As your spiritual power or virtue increases other people will be subdued by your influence. However it is better not to know the power of your spirituality so that you can have a country to rule. The meaning is if you know its power you might make use of it to harm people. (This is the reason I discourage the practices of chapter 2 to 16 of Taoist Yoga to readers. These are martial arts and healing practices.) As the father of a country (or mother as per chapter) then you can have a lasting Tao for company.
Ruling the world is not by authority or power. It is the mandate of Nature that the Chosen One is to rule the world. Self cultivation is to accumulate virtue so that its influence can go far and wide. Preaching the TRUTH will subject others to him. This is the magic that most people do not understand. The magic is written in scriptures. His duty is just to open the cans of magic. In the end, people will push him to lead or be their president. This is to tally with I-Ching 1st hexagram Creative or Chien. The top line is unfavourable but if changed to 'Inactive or 'wu wei' dragon, there is cause for prosperity', the line will become favourable. This is why I advocate an inactive head of state for all countries on earth.
