Daodejing Poem 34

Singapore time 9.13 am 14th September 2008

The great Tao overflows and spreads on every side. All being comes from it, no creature is denied. After having called them forth, it calls not one its own. It feeds and clothes them all and will not be their lord. Always without desire, it can be named as small, but all things return to it which claims not their host. Therefore it can be named great. For it always regards itself as not great, so it can achieve its greatness.


Tao is a VOID, so people treat IT as not great. Only divine people treat IT as great. IT is neutral but creates all.
