Tao Te Ching 48 (Second Part)

“True mastery can be gained by letting things go their own way. It can’t be gained by interfering”

Today I will interpret the Tao Te Ching 48 (Second Part). “True mastery can be gained by letting things go their own way. It can’t be gained by interfering”. This statement is true, I will give the chick that is about to let go of its shell. When a chick is about to get out of its shell and you want to make it fast, so you help it crack it shell and let the chick out. Eventually the chick will die because it does not get out of its shell naturally while when you do not touch it. It will live because the chick will get out naturally without pain.

Another example is when you are learning something. You cannot learn what you are trying to learn when you will do it fast because you want to learn fast. You will not master what you are trying to learn because you cannot master something in just a short span of time because mastering something needs time, patience and effort. While when you are patient learning it, you will eventually mater and learn it in its true way. While when you learn it in a fast way, you cannot master it because as I have said, mastering something needs time and patience.
