Tao Te Ching, 63

Act without action.

Do without ado

Taste without tasting.

Whether it is big or small, many or few, repay hatred with virtue.

Prepare for the difficulty while it is still easy.

Deal with the big while it is still small.

Difficult undertakings have always started with what is easy,

And great undertakings have always started with what is small.

(Tao Te Ching, 63)

Today, I would try to interpret the above text from the topic " Following the Way as non-action ".

In the above text, it is still evident that Lao Tzu is teaching about doing ways according to the natural way. He is still up for not going against the natural ways when one is aiming for the Tao. He is still against forcing or imposing the human wants unto the sequence of events.

In the text also, Lao Tzu is saying that those who are aiming for the must prepare. He is saying that following it or searching for it would be difficult. He advises these people to take it slow. They must take the process before knowing the Tao. They must not rush for rushing is forcing things to happen which is unnatural. He reminds these people that they must start with the small and easy at it will help them in their preparation in knowing the Tao. He is also reminding them to not be easily swayed by humanity. They have to stick to what they believe in.
