In the pursuit of knowledge, more and more something is added. In the practice of the TAO, more and more something is dropped, until nothing is left to know. Thus I say: "more is less and less is more"; and call this "experiencing the light". Less and less do you need to force things, until you arrive at non-action. When nothing is done, nothing is left undone. True mastery can be gained by letting things go their own way. It can't be gained by interfering. It is always through not meddling that the empire is won. Always take the empire when there are no businesses. If there are businesses, it is not worthwhile to take the empire. When one returns to TAO, the world also returns to TAO. If God's process of making the world is creation, our process of going back to God is uncreation. The TAOist world is alive and self-regulating without humans meddling with it to increase the amount of business in it.
