Just like the ice
cube that is placed in the middle of the desert, what is contrary to the Dao
does not endure. Let others choose paths that lead to roadblocks, detours, and
dead ends. Choose instead the path of the Dao that bypasses the congestion and
clears the way to peace and harmony with the universe. Those in harmony with
the way find the journey easier, the struggles lessened, and the mind calm and
at ease.
