What ho! Pepys...
Here's an excerpt aboout the amazing power of Tao:
Before heaven and earth there was something nebulous, formless yet complete;
Without sound, without substance, isolated, free from all form;
Standing alone and depending on nothing, unchanging, operating everywhere,
all pervading, revolving and without fail.
all pervading, revolving and without fail.
One can think of it as the mother of all other things.
I do not know its true name. I call it Tao.
"Way" is the by-name.
If forced to give it a name I can call it great (ta) .
Now such greatness implies reaching out in space, and also means functioning everywhere, or passing on;
Space-yielding or functioning everywhere signifies far-reaching. And passing on means going far away,
To go really far is to return to the original point. To reach far is a return. To go far away means to return.
So Tao is great and far-reaching, and so is heaven, earth and the king.
