The Way of Water
Excerpts and adaptations from
The Book of
Changes and The Unchanging Truth by Taoist Master Hua Ching Ni
(Hexagram 60: Self-Restraint)
To know is to do and to do is to be. If our knowledge or spirituality and
morality cannot be manifested in our daily lives through our thoughts,
attitudes and behavior, it means that we do not truly know them. Regardless of our
external circumstances, we should keep our virtue constant.
The reason all creatures dies is because they allow their external
environment to continually change their nature and virtue. People are tempted
by the outside world and do not feel contentment and sufficiency within their
own being.
To be virtuous means that we follow the constant, middle way, not allowing
ourselves to run into extremity. We spontaneously maintain all of our simple,
daily activities within our energy track of life and follow the universal
principle of normalcy.
(Hexagram 29: The Abyss)
