Today's Tao
You will return to an uncarved block. (Ch.28)
Here we have one of the most important key words in Tao Te Ching.
It is an uncarved block.
Lao Tzu doesn't like any sort of human intervention.
Everything artificial is simply a waste of energy.
Even worse, it could be a hindrance.
So, an untouched, uncarved piece of wood is the symbol of natural state.
When you take off your clothes and social mask, who are you?
You are an uncarved block, which is Tao.
You play in your life and go back to Tao.
