Tao Poetry
We in Western civilization have a lingering need to look to Eastern philosophy for their views of the world. We look for that something that we have not seen, yet, stands the test of time. What is the drive for fame and what is lost, what remains?
Tao- a moral force of order
The highest form of government
Is what people hardly even realize is there.
Next is that of sage
Who is seen, and loved, and respected.
Next down is the dictatorship
That thrives on oppression and terror—
And last is that of those who lie
And end up despised and rejected.
Those who act piously soon achieve a name
But fame makes people behave differently
They have become driven by worldly ambitions
This makes them inflated and defined by what they do.
People like this can never achieve Peace and Happiness.
The All-Knowing Essence speaks through me, and what it says is:
Those who don’t act piously and don’t seek a name
Trust in their own heart’s guidance.
They can go beyond wanting, and trust
In direct spiritual communication.
Understanding what is true, they know
That this is the way to Peace and Happiness.
