The prose of the Tao Te Ching is as compelling as it is opaque. In daily life, how is one to apply it: spontaneously, effortlessly, and skillfully?

It is sometimes translated as “NOT trying to become emperor,” or merely as “simplicity.” Whatever you call it, it is the key to training our choices, utterances, and deeds to flow from centered spontaneity: the fruit of meditating like a Jedi.
