Shri Lao Tzu 5th Incarnated Adi Guru

"Confucius has taught humanity how we can improve our relations with other human beings. but Lao Tsu in China has very beautifully described Tao, meaning "Kundalini".
(HH Shree Mataji Nirmala Devi  / Beijing, China 1995 during Fourth world conference on Women).

Lao Tzu is believed to have been a Chinese philosopher a person who seeks to answer questions about humans and their place in the universe. He is also the author of the book "Tao Te Ching", the main text of the "Taoist thoughts". He is considered the Father of Chinese Taoism. Taoism is a Philosophy that advocates living a simple life.

The first Lao Tsu was known to the 'Peer' of the Chinese famous philosopher "Confucius" and he has given an interview to Shri Confucius. They both lived in the same period and further lived for 129 years after the death of "Shri Confucius".

Below is the extract of  "HH Shree Mataji Nirmala Devi's" speech on "Shri Lao Tsu"

Shri Laozi Commonly called "Lao Tsu", is an honorific title, means "Venerable Master". There are many legends about "Lao Tsu" but no actual evidence of his life's deeds exists. According to popular traditional biographies he worked as the keeper of the Archives for the Royal court of Zhou. This role would allow him broad access to the works of the Yellow Emperor and other classics of the time. The stories state that "Shri Laozi" never opened a formal school too, but nonetheless he attracted a large number of students and loyal disciples. There are numerous variations of a story depicting "Shri Confucius" consulting "Lao Tsu" about rituals.

Traditional accounts state that "Shri Laozi" grew weary of the moral decay of city life and noted the Kingdom's decline. According to these legends, he ventured west to live as a hermit in the unsettled frontier at the age of 160. At the western gate of the city or Kingdom, he was recognized by a guard. The Sentry asked the old master to produce a record of his wisdom. This is the legendary origin of the Dasdejing or Tao Te Ching (the great book of the way and the virtue.

As with most of the ancient Chinese philosophers, "Shri Laozi" often explains his ideas by way of paradox, analogy, appropriation of ancient sayings, repetition, symmetry, rhyme, and rhythm. The main topic of the book is not the eternal "Tao". The Tao is the absolute union of the opposites, the union of being and not being of the female and male principle of light and shadow of strength and weakness. These opposites are represented by the Yin and the Yang. Yin is the feminine, intuitive, sensitive side while the Yang is the masculine, rational side. When they meet, they can harmoniously combine to form the Tao.

Laozi, different from Confucius who decided to be an active reformer of the society, claimed that by retiring from the world to immerse yourself in the Tao, spontaneously Virtue. Armony and Order come. The two Masters seem to move in the opposite direction but in reality, they are like two sides of the same coin (the Ying and the Yang) both of them guided by a common intuition. How to find inner balance and Values.

In the beginning, was the Tao. All things issue from it, all things return to it. The Tao is called the Great Mother, empty yet inexhaustible, it gives birth to infinite worlds. It is always present within you. You can use it any way you want. "The origin of the world is its mother, understand the mother and you understand the child, embrace the child and you embrace the mother who will not perish when you die.
