Mining Gnosis Through the Tao Te Ching–Verse 53

They would walk the great path of Tao in accordance with the will of the Father and dread putting their egos first.

The path of Heaven’s truth and righteousness is straightforward and smooth
Yet people become sidetracked by worldly desires and cling to their treasured memes.

Our government buildings are exceedingly splendid
While the farmers’ fields lie fallow and choked with weeds—
The silos and storehouses all but empty.

People wear designer clothes and ornate jewelry
And carry gleaming phones at their belts as if they were sharpened blades;
They gorge themselves on rich food and drinks
And accumulate an abundance of material possessions.

Surely, this is nothing but larcenous pride at others’ expense.
It is the opposite of the Father’s Will. Truly!
