Context:
If desire shall weaken true self,
True self will strengthen itself even more.
If desire shall abandon true self,
True self will prosperous even more.
If desire shall deprive true self,
True self will give even more.
This is known as the enlightened nature that is subtle yet profound.
Gentleness overcomes strength, and the meek overcomes the strong.
Just as fish live in deep water and cannot survive after being taken out of the depths.
And the powerful weapons of a country should not be displayed,
Just like one’s true nature cannot be revealed to be seen.
~ Lao Tzu, (Tao Te Ching; Chapter-36)
Soft and gentle shall lead to life. Thus, a strong army with rigid force shall not win.
A thick and big tree will be cut down for its use.
The big and strong will take an inferior position.
The soft and gentle will take superior position.
~ Lao Tzu, (Tao Te Ching; Chapter-76)
How does gentleness overcome strength?
How softness over come hardness?
What is the way of Lao Tzu?
