The Tao Te Ching says: Only it is indisputable, and the world can not compete with it.
Many people scoff at it, they can't get it if they fight, do you still want to get it if you don't fight? It's not a lie!
But in fact, this is the truth, this is the way of doing things in the saints.
How do saints do things?
The saint never does things with his own strength, never does it himself.
The saints serve themselves with the help of the Great Dao, that is, the power of nature.
So how do you harness the power of the Great Dao? As the saying goes: the movement of the opposite.
It's like swinging, ordinary people want to move forward, they will choose to push forward, but every time they move forward, they will be pulled back by gravity, and they don't move forward much with a lot of effort.
The saint wants to move forward, but he will choose the opposite, kicking backwards at the lowest point, and after retreating to the limit position, the Great Dao will pull himself back, and the Great Dao will push forward with the force of nature. At this time, if someone wants to stop you, you need to resist the power of the Great Dao. But the power of the avenue is unstoppable. Whoever stands in your way will be shattered by the impact of the Great Dao.
Forward is an ordinary man, and it is manpower that is used. Backwards are saints, and the way of heaven is used. How can manpower overcome the Heavenly Dao?
Therefore, if you don't dare to be the first in the world, you can be the leader of all things. If you want to destroy it, you must first make it rampant.
This is the wisdom of the Tao Te Ching, that is, the way of the truly wise person, always with the help of trends, not with force, let alone effort. Effort is a derogatory term, because Nu is slavery, and it is impulsive and reckless, not the act of a wise man.
This fundamental truth, most people interpret the Tao Te Ching without explaining it clearly, if you want to really understand the Tao Te Ching, you still have to find the right person, my column is the last coupon today, take a look.
