Like Fishes Born In Water, Man Is Born In Tao





Fishes are born in water,
man is born in Tao.

If fishes, born in water,
seek the deep shadow of pond and pool,
all their needs are satisfied.

If man, born in Tao,
sinks into the deep shadow of non-action,
to forget aggression and concern,
he lacks nothing,
and his life is secure.

~Chuang Tzu, Man Is Born In Tao
