  If he didn't laugh�察�it wouldn't be Tao。

  Here's what they find so funny��
  The path to enlightenment
  seems covered in shadows。
  The way forward
  feels like taking a step back。
  The easiest path seems difficult。
  Those with the most virtue
  seem debased。
  Those who are most pure
  seem to be grubby and soiled。
  The deepest thoughts appear shallow。
  The greatest strength
  looks like weakness。
  What is most real
  strikes us as imaginary。
  The largest space has no boundaries。
  The greatest talent
  seems to produce nothing。
  The greatest voice is unhearable。
  The greatest beauty is invisible。

  Tao is hidden to us
  and it has no name。
  It is the source and the strength of all things。

  42

  Chapter 42 starts out
  with some cosmic mumbo´jumbo
  about Tao making one��
  one making two��
  two making three��
  and three making everything else。

  I don't know what it means��
  and�察�frankly��
  I wouldn't worry about it too much。

  Let's get to the practical part��
  Men hate to be called
  powerless�察�insignificant�察�or unworthy��
  but that's how
  Masters describe themselves。

  Because when we lose�察�we've won。
  And when we succeed�察�we've failed。

  Other people will tell you
  what I'm telling you now��
  ;Live by the sword�察�die by the sword。;
  That's pretty much what Chapter 42
  boils down to。
  ��See Chapter 46 for more details。��

  43

  The softest force in the universe
  can overcome the hardest of objects。
  Something without substance
  can pass through the space between atoms。

  That's how I know
  about the power of doing nothing。

  The silent teachings
  and the power of doing nothing
  can only be understood
  by a few people。

  44

  What's more important��
  fame or your well´being��
  What's worth more��
  your money or your life��
  What is more dangerous��
  winning or losing��

  If you are too attached
  to your possessions��
  they will bring you misery。
  If you hang on to your riches��
  you will suffer substantial loss。
  If you know when you have enough��
  you will never be disgraced。
  If you practice moderation��
  you can stay out of trouble。

  And that's the secret to lasting success。

  45

  The greatest achievements
  may look like mistakes��
  but you will always be able
  to build upon them。

  The fullest reserves may seem empty��
  but you will always be able
  to draw upon them。

  The straightest line looks crooked。
  The most skilled people
  come off as clumsy。
  The most eloquent people
  are usually silent。

  When it's cold��
  you can move around to stay warm。
  When it's hot��
  you should keep still and stay cool。
  But whatever the weather��
  if you stay calm��
  the world will sort itself out around you。

  46

  ;When the world is right with Tao�察�
  Lao Tzu said��
  ;horses haul fertilizer to the fields。
  When the world loses touch with Tao��
  horses are trained for cavalry。;

  Nothing is more insidious than possession。
  Nothing is more dangerous than desire。
  Nothing is more disastrous than greed。

  If you know when enough is enough��
  you will always have enough。

  47

  You don't have to leave your room
  to understand what's happening in the world。

  You don't have to look out the window
  to appreciate the beauty of heaven。

  The farther you wander��
  the less you know。

  The Masters don't wander around
  They know。
  They don't just look。
  They understand。
  They don't do anything��
  but the work gets done。

  48

  Usually��
  we try to learn something new every day。

  But if we want to get right with Tao��
  we have to let go of something every day。

  We do less and less��
  until we end up doing nothing。
  And it's when we do nothing
  that we get the job done。

  Let events take their course��
  and everything will turn out
  in your favor。
  If you act on your ambitions��
  they will never pan out。

  49

  The Masters
  don't make up their minds。
  They turn their thoughts
  to other people。

  They are good to good people��
  and they're good to bad people。
  This is real goodness。

  They have faith in the faithful��
  and they have faith in the unfaithful。
  This is real faith。

  A Master throws himself
  into the world completely��
  forgetting everything he's been told。
  People pay attention to him
  because he lives a life of child´like wonder。

  50

  People who look
  for the secret of long life
  wind up dead。

  Their bodies are the focus of their lives
  and the source of their death��
  because they think a healthy body
  is all there is to life。

  Lao Tzu used to say
  a man who truly understood life
  could walk through the jungle
  without fear
  or across a battlefield
  without armor�察�totally unarmed。
  Wild animals and weapons couldn't kill him。

  I know�察�I know��
  what the hell does that mean��
  ;Well�察�he couldn't be killed�察�
  Lao Tzu said��
  ;because his body
  wasn't where he kept his death。;

  51

  Tao is the source of all living things��
  and they are nourished
  by Tao's power。
  They are influenced
  by the other living things around them��
  and they are shaped
  by their circumstances。

  Everything respects Tao
  and honors its power。
  That's just the way it is。

  Tao gives life to all things��
  and its power watches out for them��
  cares for them�察�helps them grow��
  protects them�察�and comforts them。

  Create something
  without holding on to it。
  Do the work
  without expecting credit for it。
  Lead people
  without giving them orders。
  That's the secret of the power of Tao。

  52

  Everything starts with Tao��
  the mother of all things。
  If you know the mother��
  you know the children。
  If you know the children
  and remember the mother��
  you have nothing to fear in your life。

  Shut your mouth and keep still��
  and your life will be full of happiness。
  If you talk all the time��
  always doing something��
  your life will be hopeless。

  It takes insight to see subtlety。
  It takes strength
  to yield gently to force。
  Use that strength
  to hang on to your insight��
  and you will always be at peace。
  That's how to get right with Tao。

  53

  If I had any sense��
  I'd be trying to get right with Tao��
  and the only thing I'd worry about
  would be messing up。
  It's not that hard to get right with Tao��
  but people are easily distracted。

  ;When the king's palace is full of treasure�察�
  Lao Tzu said��
  ;ordinary people's fields
  are smothered with weeds��
  and the food supplies run out。;

  Today�察�you see sharply dressed people
  carrying flashy weapons
  and living the high life。

  They own more
  than they could ever use��
  let alone need。

  They're nothing
  but gangsters and crooks。
  That's not what Tao's about。

  54

  Tao's power is so deeply entrenched
  it can never be uprooted。
  Tao's power clings so tightly
  it can never slip away。
  It will endure for generations。

  If you get in touch
  with the power of Tao��
  it will become real。
  If your family gets in touch
  with the power of Tao��
  the power will flourish。

  If your community gets in touch
  with the power of Tao��
  the power will grow even stronger。
  If your country gets in touch
  with the power of Tao��
  the power will become abundant。

  If the world gets in touch
  with the power of Tao��
  the power will be everywhere。

  How can I know this��
  I just do。

  55

  A person filled with the power of Tao
  is like a baby boy��
  bees can't sting him��
  wild beasts can't attack him。

  A baby has soft bones
  and weak muscles��
  but a firm grip。
  He hasn't had sex��
  but he can get an erection。
  That's because he's got lots of energy。
  He can cry all day
  and never lose his voice。
  That's because he's at one with his world。

  If you're at one with the world��
  you know constancy。
  And if you know constancy��
  you've been enlightened。

  It's not healthy
  to try to prolong your life。
  It's unnatural to impose the mind's will
  upon the body。
  People waste time and energy
  trying to be strong or beautiful��
  and their strength and beauty fade。
  They've lost touch with Tao��
  and when you lose touch with Tao��
  you might as well be dead。

  56

  Those who know�察�don't talk。
  Those who talk�察�don't know。

  Shut your mouth。
  Be still。 Relax。
  Let go of your worries。
  Stay out of the spotlight。
  Be at one with the world
  and get right with Tao。

  If you get right with Tao��
  you won't be worried
  about praise or scorn��
  about winning or losing��
  about honor or disgrace。
  That's the way to be。

  57

  You can run a country
  by sticking to principles��
  and you can win a war
  with strategy and tactics。
  But you can gain the entire world
  by doing nothing at all。

  How do I know this��
  I've seen it happen��
  The more restrictions
  a nation imposes��
  the poorer its people become。
  When a nation hoards weapons��
  troubles arise from within
  and from without。
  When its leaders try
  to be cunning and clever��
  the situation spins
  further out of control。
  When they try to fix things
  by passing more laws��
  they only increase the number of outlaws。

  A wise leader says to himself��
  ;I do nothing��
  and people transform themselves。
  I keep silent��
  and they do the right thing
  on their own。
  I stay out of the way��
  and they prosper。
  I want for nothing��
  and they l
