Those who wish to embody the Tao should embrace all things.
To embrace all things means first that one holds no anger or resistance toward any idea or thing, living or dead, formed or formless.
Acceptance is the very essence of the Tao.
To embrace all things means also that one rids oneself of any concept of separation; male and female, self and other, life and death.
Division is contrary to the nature of the Tao.
Foregoing antagonism and separation, one enters in the harmonious oneness of all things.
I really appreciate this. At the moment I am enthusiastic about the meaning of harmony, under the realisation that it means "good relationship", and I benefit from harmonious relations with all Life, including the World of Spirit: harmony is essential for me, it is the goal I am seeking. "Forego antagonism and separation" is the instruction - to not be full of resentment, and not to emphasise division, but to embrace in a spirit of cosmic unity.
