"Tao gives Life to all beings. Teh nourishes them. It gives to each being its form. It gives the inward urge towards perfectness. That is why there is no living creature that does not reverence Tao and honour Teh. The veneration of Tao! The honour of Teh! No Master has decreed it, But eternally it affirms the Self. Therefore Tao gives Life to all beings, It nourishes and makes them grow, It rears them and perfects them, It sustains, feeds, and protects them. It gives them Life, but does not possess them. It gives them activity, but does not depend o them. It urges them to grow, but does not rule them. This is called profound Teh."
