Every being in the universe is an expression of the Dao, it springs in to existence, unconscious, perfect, free, takes on a physical body, lets circumstances complete it.  That is why every being, spontaneously honors the Dao.

The Dao gives birth to all beings, nourishes them, maintains them, cares for them, comforts them, protects them, takes them back to itself, creating without possessing, acting with expecting, guiding without interfering.. that is why love of the Dao is in the very nature of things.
