The Great Tao, wonder creator of all creations, unites the REAL brotherhood of all mankind transcending all barriers of race, religion, time, or limitation of any form. Since man has the freedom to be his true self HERE and NOW, and it is the Law of Nature that nothing can hamper his way, because that freedom is the very nature of his being. It is therefore his duty to seize this Golden Opportunity to strive diligently to live for the best – for himself and for others.
There is a reason, a meaning, a divine purpose for life. A man can lift himself out of ignorance and find his nature sacred and inviolable. Brotherhood depends on relationships such as one’s family; close relations; same religious community; similar race; equality in status; time or space. When these barricades are eventually broken down, then where will that Brotherhood be? How can man achieve the goal of UNIVERSAL HARMONY when there are formations of divisional groups? Do we not look like STRANGERS under the same ROOF? Have we not one personal thing in COMMON - - our blood of life which is equally RED in colour?
Knowing that Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom and Trustworthiness are rooted in the mind of man, he must utilise these qualities to their utmost. Shunning them is the way in which a man looses his proper goodness, a sure path to self-destruction. This is like a tree whose beautiful shady foliage is stripped off day after day, by axes and hatchets, until finally leaving its basic and pathetic features: a barren stalk of stunted wood.
Ever since the time of creation, everything within the Universe has been left to run its natural course, smoothly and without the slightest interference with one another. From the Solar Systems, the seasons, the days and nights, the trees and plants right down to the tiny blades of grass; together they function peacefully and harmoniously. But with careful observation, you can obviously detect the difference which occurs in men.
Since all spring forth from the Great Tao, why is it necessary for men, the highest breed of all and none of the others, to impose heavy law and order upon their own kind? Where is that rejoicing peace which men enjoyed once upon a long time ago, but is now anxiously hoped for? The answer to these can be summed up as follows:-
“Outraging the Moral Law of Nature begets its offspring – suffering, disaster and the outbreak of wars.”
The only way of banishing fear, loneliness, anxieties, hurts, pain, hatred and ………is to break up the unseen walls of spiritual confinement, freeing their high-powered energies to maximise their full potential and usage. This energetic stimulus will undoubtedly enlighten the mind, strengthen the will, increase the joy, deepen the faith, build up the courage and encompass the infinity of the universe with perpetual peace and love, merging the true Brotherhood of men with their innate truth - - MORALITIES!
It takes every single “YOU” to make a world of “YOU” and as descendants of A COMMON PROGENITOR, let us reach out to one another and stride towards Sublime Unity – the definition of “THE GREAT TAO AND YOU.”
Doctrine Of The Mean :
Chap XVI |
“How abundantly do spiritual beings display the powers that belong to them. We look for them but do not see them; we listen to, but do not hear them; yet they enter into all things, and there is nothing without them.” |

Doctrine Of The Mean :
Chap XXVII: 6 |
“Therefore the superior man honours his virtuous nature, and maintains constant inquiry and study, and seeking to carry that out to its ultimate limits, omitting none of the exquisite or minute points which it embraces, and raising his virtuous nature to its greatest heath and brilliancy, in his pursuit of the “Course of the Mean”. He cherishes his old knowledge, and is continually acquiring new. He exerts an honest generous, earnestness in the regard and practice of all proprietary.” |
UNITY
So together hand in hand, and merrily we extend the knowledge of UNIVERSAL LOVE unto the entire earth.
That every precious life again consciously revives the beauty of nature’s ease freely as the breeze
May we thus fulfill the Joy of Heaven’s Will!
