大道無方 278. Always at Ease
The Tao is always at ease.
It overcomes without competing,
answers without speaking a word,
arrives without being summoned,
accomplishes without a plan.
Its net covers the whole universe.
And though its meshes are wide,
it doesn't let a thing slip through.
1. The Tao is always at ease. What kind of ease?
2. How do you answer without speaking a word?
3. This world is originally nothing. What thing slips through?
COMMENTARY: Everything comes from the Tao; where does the Tao come from? Your mouth? Your eyes? Your nose? Your tongue? Your body? When your body disappears, where does the Tao go?
