Background
A description of the experience
Tao Teh Ching – Lao Tzu
He who is brave in daring will be killed
He who is brave in not daring will survive
Of these two kinds of bravery, one is beneficial while the other proves harmful
Some things are detested by heaven
But who knows the reason?
Even the sage is baffled by such a question.
It is heaven's way to conquer without striving
To get responses without speaking
To induce the people to come without summoning
To act according to plans without haste
Vast is heaven's net
Sparse meshed it is, and yet
Nothing can slip through it
