Best of Taoism – Questions to ask yourself?

Can you keep the soul in your body? Can your body function in harmony with the soul? Can you learn to be whole?

Can you draw your energy back into yourself? Can you become supple? Can you learn to be a baby?

Can you keep deep water still and clear, so that it reflects without distortion? Can you love people as they are?

Can you manage things without exerting authority? Can you organize things be doing nothing?

Can you open and close the gates of heaven with ease? Can you enter and leave heaven, as a bird enters and leaves its nest?

Can you pierce the mystery of the universe? Can you know without knowing?

Can you bear a child, give birth to it and nourish it, without possessing it?

Can you act without taking credit for your actions?

Can you lead, and not rule?
