In this episode, Gabriel Raam, a unique philosopher, author, and thinker from Israel, gives his unique, radical interpretation of chapter 59 of the Tao Te Ching.
In caring for others and serving heaven,
There is nothing like using restraint.
There is nothing like using restraint.
This depends on Virtue gathered in the past.
If there is a good store of Virtue, then nothing is impossible.
If nothing is impossible, then there are no limits.
If a man knows no limits, then he is fit to be a ruler.
The mother principle of ruling holds good for a long time.
This is called having deep roots and a firm foundation,
The Tao of long life and eternal vision.
Chapter 59 of Tao Te Ching, as translated by Gia-Fu Feng (馮家福 Feng Jia-fu, 1919–1985) and Jane English (1942–), Vintage Books, 1989
