Mother of all things ...
14 december kl. 13:42

There was Something undefined and yet complete in itself, Born before Heaven-and-Earth. Silent and boundless, Standing alone without change, Yet pervading all without fail, It may be regarded as the Mother of the world.

I do not know its name; I call it the Way (Tao). If forced to define it, I shall call it supreme!

Supreme means absolute. Absolute means extending everywhere. Extending everywhere means returning to itself.

Therefore Tao is supreme; heaven is supreme; earth is supreme; and man is also supreme; There are in the universe four things supreme, and man is one of them.

Man follows the ways of the Earth. The Earth follows the ways of Heaven, Heaven follows the ways of Tao, Tao follows its own ways.

 

Lau Tsus "definition" of Tao.
