3bob Posted March 18, 2010 T.T.C. 51. TAO gives them life, Virtue nurses them, Matter shapes them, Environment perfects them. Therefore all things without exception worship Tao and do homage to Virtue. They have not been commanded to worship Tao and do homage to Virtue, But they always do so spontaneously. It is Tao that gives them life: It is Virtue that nurses them, grows them, fosters them, shelters them, comforts them, nourishes them, and covers them under her wings. To give life but to claim nothing, To do your work but to set no store by it, To be a leader, not a butcher, This is called hidden Virtue. (and those aligned with same are a grest blessing to us all) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marblehead Posted March 18, 2010 Yes, and the reason it is generally hidden is because the doer never brags on him/herself. They don't make a show of their goodwill. They simply do what needs be done and move on leaving no tracks. Peace & Love! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
