The Tao doesn't take sides;
it gives birth to both good and evil.
The Master doesn't take sides;
she welcomes both saints and sinners.
The Tao is like a bellows:
it is empty yet infinitely capable.
The more you use it, the more it produces;
the more you talk of it the less you understand.
Hold onto the the center.
Interpretation: Everything and everyone arises and returns to the same source from the most evil person to the saint. The Master knows this and see the potential in everyone to be spiritually realized. Everyone's mission is to work through their suffering... This is done by returning to the source over and over and over. Go into the silence and the flow of life now and now and now...
The more you talk the less you understand is a statement that points to the duality of language itself. The word God or Source or light has different context and meaning to each one of us. Going into silence is not done through words. Much like thinking about drinking a glass of water or taking a shower is not the same as actually doing it. It's the personal and committed action of non-doing that's important. If we talk ourselves into a relationship with God or Source, it is done through ego. Talking and communication are only means to establishing commitment or motivation and can never fully embrace the full experience of life. For all those words are really just a virtual reality and not grounded in full non-duality and truth.
Lastly, Center = Source (not an ego-ic place of fixation). There is no place to fixate on... The flow only flows: sometimes focused on mind, sometimes moving to sensations, sometimes in the silence and on and on and on. It's the noticing and allowing with no resistance that is non-doing. Non-doing = not resisting what is. Ego = resistance to what is with the back and forth battle of solving a problem that only exists in our virtual world. Let it go and go into the truth, the source, the silence, the flow.
