Tao Te Ching Chapter 37-4 No desire


Today's Tao

The uncarved block with no name naturally wants to have no desire. (Ch.37)


The uncarved block means Tao, which is true You.

Tao doesn't have a name.

You don't have individuality, in reality.

Tao doesn't have desire.

You don't have desire, in reality.

Do you have an unquenchable desire to control your life, uh?

"Where does this desire come from?"

Forget looking for the answer to this meaningless question.

The more you think, the more resistance you create.

Every time you cannot find an answer, avoid the question as water avoids obstacles.
