Tao Te Ching kap.16

Empty the self completely
Embrace perfect peace
The world will rise and move
Watch it return to rest
All the flourishing things
Will return to their source

This return is peaceful
It is the flow of nature
An eternal decay and renewal
Accepting this brings enlightenment
Ignoring this brings misery

Who accepts nature's flow becomes all-cherishing
Being all-cherishing he becomes impartial
Being impartial he becomes magnanimous
Being magnanimous he becomes natural
Being natural he becomes one with the Way
Being one with the Way he becomes immortal
Though his body will decay, the Way will not
