MOTHER TAO
Something mysteriously formed.
Born before heaven and earth.
In the silence and the void…
It is the Mother of ten thousand things.
I do not know its name;
I call it Tao.

--Tao Te Ching, as quoted in The Divine Feminine in Biblical Wisdom Literature, by Rabbi Rami Shapiro




The world had a beginning which we call the Great Mother.
Once we have found the Mother,we begin to know what Her children should be.
When we know we are the Mothers child,we begin to guard the qualities of the Mother in us.
She will protect us from all danger even if we lose our life.
Keep your mouth closed and embrace a simple life,
and you will live care-free until the end of your days.
If you try to talk your way into a better life there will be no end to your trouble.
To understand the small is called clarity.
Knowing how to yield is called strength.
To use your inner light for understanding
regardless of the danger is called depending on the Constant.
The Great Tao flows everywhere ..
All things depend on it for life,
and it does not turn away from them.
One may think of it as the mother of all beneath Heaven.
We do not know its name, but we call it Tao ...
Deep and still, it seems to have existed forever.

The Tao is called the Great Mother:
Empty yet inexhaustible,
It gives birth to infinite worlds.

It is always present within you.
You can use it anyway you want.

The Tao is like a well
Used but never used up.
It is like the eternal void:
Filled with infinite possibilities

It is hidden but always present.
I don’t know who gave birth to it.
It is older than God.

The Tao is infinite, eternal.
Why is it eternal?
It was never born;
Thus it can never die.
Why is it infinite?
It has no desires for itself;
Thus it is present for all beings.

The Master stays behind;
That is why she is ahead.
She is detached from all things;
That is why she is one with them.
Because she has let go of herself,
She is perfectly fulfilled.
