Tao Te Ching Chapter 77-11 After life / Task successfully accomplished

Today's Tao

Although his great tasks are (successfully) accomplished, he doesn't stay there. (Ch.77)


Lao Tzu has said the same sentence in Tao Te Ching / Chapter 2 / Do not judge.

In the world, which is your hologram and a catalyst, you don't have to be successful.

Or rather, I should say: "No matter what is your evaluation of your life, you are successful".

It is quite logical because your only task in life is to emit Love (=Tao).

Whatever you do, you are sending Love, remember? (☞See Plenty of life? 75-3 and Value life 75-4)

Be careful, though.

Some might say: "All right. Our achievement doesn't matter because we are gonna leave this world anyway."

Wrong!

We do not go back to Tao after our life finishes. (☞See Man's self 77-7)

We are Tao itself.

In other words, we are "inside" Tao all the time while we do not "keep staying" in the hologram.
