5 (42)

The Way gave birth to unity,
Unity gave birth to duality,
Duality gave birth to trinity,
Trinity gave birth to the myriad creatures.

The myriad creatures bear yin on their backs
and embrace yang in their bosoms.
They neutralize these vapors
and thereby achieve harmony.

That which all under haven hate most
Is to be orphanage, destitute, and hapless.
Yet kings and dukes call themselve thus.

Things may be diminished by being increased,
increased by being dimished.

Therefore
That which people teach,
After deliberation, I also teach people.

Therefore,
"The tyrant does not die a natural death."
I take this as my mentor.

Lao Tzu
