Tao #61 ~ she stoops to conquer
ะค

When a strong country serves the world
it becomes like the ocean
down to which all rivers flow

Yet the more powerful it grows
the greater the need for deep humility

True strength is found in serving the Tao
knowing that we are all one in DivineUnity

the true seductress attains strength through attraction
by allowing her victim to feel tall and strong
attaining victory with the least amount of energy
she stoops to conquer as a servant playing along

The great state uses her surplus to seduce
the smaller states to do what she wants them to do
Extra grain goes to stuff the ever hungry goose
thus guaranteeing it's ready to cook

The larger economy plays the supportive role
thus gaining the support of the smaller economy
the smaller country is willing to go into the hole
in order to get the protection and strength of an ally

corporate economies desire servile consumers
service economies desire to serve
the needs of the manufacturer
which in turn wants to serve its customers

true strength is found through service




Interpretation

Writers referenced : Lau, Merel, Feng-English, Beck

We must open our hearts to the deepest values. Embracing the truth of our divinity and living through love and not fear. I open my heart to wisdom and wisdom guides me to deepest truth and joyful life.
