Lesson 142

It influences all creation, yet none is conscious thereof.

Excerpt

"The goodness of a wise ruler," answered Lao Tzลญ, "covers the whole empire, yet he himself seems to know it not. It influences all creation, yet none is conscious thereof. It appears under countless forms, bringing joy to all things. It is based upon the baseless, and travels through the realms of Nowhere."
