Getting Ego Out of the Way of the Tao

If lausu were able to view our contemporary world from his 25 hundred year old perspective, i believe that he'd offer the following advice based upon this third verse of the dau da ching. Ego and its incessant inventory of des res probably needs to be weakened so that the beauty of the dao can be sensed. The source of creation is not interested in material possessions or status. It will provide what is needed. Your life is controlled by something far bigger and far more significant than the petty details of your lofty aspirations. Stop pushing yourself, lauchu would say, and feel gratitude and awe for what it is.
