#TTC chapter 25
Here's the twenty fifth chapter of the #taoteching. Let me know what you think it means in the comments or at
Something mysteriously formed,
Born before heaven and Earth.
In the silence and the void,
Standing alone and unchanging,
Ever present and in motion.
Perhaps it is the mother of ten thousand things.
I do not know its name
Call it Tao.
For lack of a better word,
I call it great.
Being great, it flows
It flows far away.
Having gone far, it returns.
Therefore,
"Tao is great;
Heaven is great;
Earth is great;
The king is also great."
These are the four great powers of the universe,
And the king is one of them.
Man follows Earth.
Earth follows heaven.
Heaven follows the Tao.
