If you want to be one with the Tao

If you wish to attain Oneness with the Tao,
don't get caught up in spiritual superficialities.

Instead, live a quiet and simple life
free of ideas and concepts.
Find contentment in the practice of undiscriminating virtue,
the Only true power.

Giving to others selflessly and anonymously,
radiating light throughout the world
and illuminating your own darkness,
your virtue becomes a sanctuary for yourself and all beings.
That is what is meant by
embodying the Tao.

[Verse 47 - Hua Hu Ching
The Unknown Teachings of Lao Tzu
Brian Walker interpretation]
