The Tao's principle is spontaneity.
Live simply and virtuously, true to your nature, drawing no line between what is spiritual and what is not.
Accept disgrace willingly... Accept being unimportant... Surrender yourself humbly; then you can be trusted to care for all things. Love the world as your own self; then you can truly care for all things.
I do not know its name. I call it the Way. For the lack of better words I call it great.
Cautious, like crossing a river in the winter.
Only by working within the laws that govern the flow of water will happiness be achieved.
