 "Discovering the 'Tao Teh Ching'" by Mark Davidson
High Teh, as we read it in the text, would seem to represent that pure, harmonious spiritual quality present in both man and nature, similar to the principle of buddhi in the Hindu philosophy, while low Teh is that which is understood as virtue on the human level.
Teh, "the moral heart or nature," is here presented as "the Name in its outer aspect, Mother of all created things." Teh is the extension of Tao and functions as intermediary between that generative pure spirit and those beings who have need of existence in the material realms.
It is interesting to see how the one idea of Teh, that of virtue, derives its meaning from the other aspect of Teh: that of a nurturing mother giving birth and life to her children has always been representative of moral values.

 On Tao   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
Tao is a metaphysical grandeur; it also is the still small voice in the heart of the sage.
Tao eludes the sense of sight and is therefore called colourless, of hearing and is therefore called soundless, of touch and is therefore called bodyless.
Tao lies hid and cannot be named, yet it has the power of transmitting and perfecting all things (41:3).

 Tao Te Ching - Peter A. Merel's Interpolation
Properties of Tao -------------------- Tao is a depthless vessel; Used by the Self, it is not filled by the World; It cannot be cut, knotted, dimmed or stilled; Its depths are hidden, ubiquitous and eternal; I don't know where it came from; It came before Nature.
Tao is evasive and intangible But expresses all form and substance; Tao is dark and subtle But expresses all of Nature; Nature is unchanging, But expresses all sensation.
When Tao is shaped by use, The shape gains a name in the World; One should not keep too many names Lest their shapes stop up the Self; Instead let Tao flow through the Self into the World As water courses down a riverbed into the sea.

 A Critical Analysis of Lao Tzu's Tao Teh Ching - Chineses philosophy.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
TTC propagates a view that a wise person or a ruler should take tao into account in all their actions.
TTC simply does not become accessible through it, the conclusion being that even if in between lines and very vaguely TTC does make the general points mentioned earlier about tao, it does so very elusively, poetically and between lines.
Consequently, the structural and conceptual analysis of TTC, if one only reads the meanings of the words as they can be literally understood, leads to a conclusion, that TTC puts forward a collection of dogmas that one must either believe or reject, and offers no rational ground for believing them.

 Lao Tse - Tao Teh Ching   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
Possessed of the Tao, he endures long; and to the end of his bodily life, is exempt from all danger of decay.
Therefore when one is making the Tao his business, those who are also pursuing it, agree with him in it, and those who are making the manifestation of its course their object agree with him in that; while even those who are failing in both these things agree with him where they fail.
Hence, those with whom he agrees as to the Tao have the happiness of attaining to it; those with whom he agrees as to its manifestation have the happiness of attaining to it; and those with whom he agrees in their failure have also the happiness of attaining (to the Tao).

This is a very terse, unique translation of the Lao Tzu's influential Taoist text, the Tao teh King (Tao te Ching), from the author of the Buddhist Bible.
The Tao that can be understood cannot be the primal, or cosmic, Tao, just as an idea that can be expressed in words cannot be the infinite idea.
And yet this ineffable Tao was the source of all spirit and matter, and being expressed was the mother of all created things.
