The Heights of Harmony (Tao Te Ching 55)

Published: May 29, 2022, 1:34 a.m.

b'He who\\u2019s full of Te is like a baby.\\xa0Scorpions don\\u2019t sting him.\\xa0Ferocious beasts don\\u2019t eat him.\\xa0Eagles don\\u2019t carry him off. \\xa0His bones are supple.\\xa0His muscles are soft.\\xa0But his grip is tight.\\xa0He doesn\\u2019t know what sex is yet,\\xa0but he gets erections.\\xa0That\\u2019s how much vitality is in him.\\xa0He can wail all day\\xa0without losing his voice.\\xa0He knows the heights of harmony.\\xa0Knowing harmony is called high fidelity.\\xa0Knowing fidelity is called clarity.

Fretting about longevity is unfortunate.\\xa0It taxes the mind and heart,\\xa0needlessly wasting vital energy.\\xa0When folks think that it\\u2019s important\\xa0to be rigid in order\\xa0to be a responsible adult,\\xa0they go against the Tao.

Whatever goes against the Tao\\xa0will end in ruin.
