Chapter 35: The Virtue (Teh) of Benevolence
Tao Teh King (Laotzu's Tao and Wu Wei), trans. Dwight Goddard
Text
The world will go to him who grasps this Great Principle; they will seek and not be injured, they will find contentment, peace and rest. Music and dainties attract the passing people, while Tao's reality seen-is insipid. Indeed it has no taste, when looked at there is not enough seen to be prized, when listened for, it can scarcely be heard, but, the use of it is inexhaustible.
