The Point
A man once asked a Taoist master “What is the point of following the Tao?” The master said, “The point of following Taoism is to understand and achieve balance. By having balance, one has harmony. Our goal is to have a smooth flow of energy throughout. This leads to mindfulness and mental clarity. Mental clarity leads to balance, which in turn leads to harmony. Nature is in balance because there are the correct amounts of sun and rain, night and dark, land and water. Using the Tao as a guide will keep us balance and in harmony.”
