Chapter 35
She who follows
the way of the Tao
will draw the world to her steps.
She can go without fear of being injured,
because she has found peace and tranquility in her heart.

She can go without fear of being injured,
because she has found peace and tranquility in her heart.
Where there is
music and good food,
people will stop to enjoy it.
But words spoken of the Tao
seem to them boring and stale.
When looked at, there is nothing for them to see.
When listened for, there is nothing for them to hear.
Yet if they put it to use, it would never be exhausted.

================================================================
The tao is
bland. Is this what he is saying?
It has nothing
spectacular in it.
I don’t know
what to make of this chapter, but here is one interpretation. If someone is
able to find contentment with little things he has, then we can say he has found
true applicable wisdom. Not only did he discover this wisdom, but his
unconscious has come into a state where this discovery of wisdom achieves the
stable tranquility of his mind.
