Living by Decreasing (Verse 48, Tao Te Ching, Lao-tzu)

Learning consists of daily accumulating.
The practice of Tao consists of daily diminishing;
decreasing and decreasing, until doing nothing.
When nothing is done, nothing is left undone.

True mastery can be gained
by letting things go their own way.
It cannot be gained by interfering.
