Inspiration from Lao Tzu | Wisdom of the Tao Te Ching

Listen to episode 1156 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Tao Te Ching. Edited and adapted from Dwight Goddard’s translation of the Lao Tzu’s classic book Tao Te Ching.Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The Tao that can be understood cannot be the primal, or cosmic, Tao, just as an idea that can be expressed in words cannot be the infinite idea.And yet this ineffable Tao is the source of all spirit and matter, and being expressed is the mother of all created things.Therefore not to desire the things of sense is to know the freedom of spirituality; and to desire is to learn the limitation of matter. These two things, spirit and matter, so different in nature, have the same origin. This unity of origin is the mystery of mysteries, and it is the gateway to spirituality.---------------------                                 Get our popular 3 books of Life Lessons in paperback and e-book on Amazon.
