How can we talk about something, the essence of which cannot be explained through words? The Taoists use water as a metaphor. Sitting beside a waterfall, Swaha reads and comments on these words of Lao Tzu:

“The Supreme Truth is like water, which nourishes all. It nourishes all things without trying to do it. It is content with low places that people disdain. Thereby, it is one with the Tao.

In dwelling, live close to the ground.

In thinking, keep it simple.

In conflict, be fair and generous.

In governing, don’t try to control.

In work, do what you enjoy.

In family life, be completely present.

When you are happy to be complete yourself, you are one with the Tao. And don’t compare or compete. Then, everybody will love and respect you.”
