Tao Te Ching (Marshall)

A Translation of Lao Tsu's Tao Te Ching from the "The Perennial Way" by Bart Marshall

Seven


The realm of heaven and earth is everlasting.

Why is it everlasting?
Because it is not conscious of itself.
Having no thought of being,
it never is not.

Like this, the sage forgets himself,
so he is always present.

Without self-concern, the self is eternal.
When self-interest subsides, fulfillment happens.
