Embrace the natural way of existence from "summary" of Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu

The way of the Tao is the way of nature itself. It is the way of existence as it naturally unfolds, without force or manipulation. To embrace the natural way of existence is to align oneself with the flow of the universe, to move with the currents of change rather than against them. This requires a deep sense of trust in the innate wisdom of the world, a willingness to surrender to the unfolding of life as it is, rather than trying to control or manipulate it. In nature, everything follows its own course, without effort or struggle. The trees grow tall, the rivers flow, the birds sing – all without needing to force or push. This is the natural way of existence, the way of the Tao. To embrace this way is to let go of our need to control and manipulate, to trust in the natural order of things. When we resist the natural flow of existence, when we try to force things to be a certain way, we create disharmony and discord. We disrupt the natural balance of the world and cause suffering for ourselves and others. To embrace the natural way of existence is to let go of our attachment to how we think things should be and instead to trust in the wisdom of the Tao. When we embrace the natural way of existence, we find peace and harmony within ourselves. We are no longer at odds with the world around us, but instead, we are in tune with it. We move with grace and ease, like a leaf floating down a stream, carried by the currents of the universe. To embrace the natural way of existence is to live in harmony with all that is. It is to let go of our ego-driven desires and instead to align ourselves with the greater flow of life. In doing so, we find a sense of peace and contentment that is beyond words – a deep and abiding sense of connection to all that exists.
