TAO TE CHING

If you want to become whole, // Si quieres ser el todo let yourself be partial. Dejate ser parte If you want to become straight, Si quieres ser recto let yourself be crooked. Dejate doblar If you want to become full, Si te quieres llenar let yourself be empty. Dejate vaciar If you want to be reborn, Si quieres volver a nacer let yourself die. Dejate morir If you want to be given everything, SI quieres que te lo den todo give everything up. Dalo todo The Master, by residing in the Tao, El MAestro, residiendo en el Tao sets an example for all beings. MArca un ejemplo para todos los seres Because he doesn't display himself, people can see his light. Because he has nothing to prove, people can trust his words. Because he doesn't know who he is, people recognize themselves in him. Because he has no goal in mind, everything he does succeeds. When the ancient Masters said, "If you want to be given everything, give everything up," they weren't using empty phrases. Only in being lived by the Tao can you be truly yourself. *
