toa te ching

[silenceowl]

Water overcomes the stone;
Without substance it requires no opening;
This is the benefit of taking no action.

Yet benefit without action,
And experience without abstraction,
Are practiced by very few.

Comments please?

Ah.... "Patience can have its rewards, but without the price of toil, no benefit can be achieved?" I guess that it's easy enough to understand already...

Nice quote. I'm gonna have to read that book.
