The Tao Teh King: A Short Study in Comparative Religion

As the title suggests this more than just a translation of Lao Tzu''s Tao; it is a study in comparative spiritualities:This then is the word which this ancient writing has for the world—a life of sensation is a life of instability a life of non-accomplishment. Until the final facts of consciousness are understood true peace is impossible but when these are known detachment from action for the sake of action will be the result. If any man love the world (is attached to the sensuous) the love of the Father is not in him. So says the Christian mystic John. He who has not attained to non-attachment or non-action is a stranger to the power of the Tao; this is the cry of the Chinese mystic Lao-tzu.
