And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.From this verse of the Bible, we learn that, when God bestows his blessings on someone, the individual will enjoy earthly riches and great stature.
~ King James version ~
Tao provides for all. Great is the individual who has much by having little.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
Tao, on the other hand, bestows nothing to any specific person or entity. What Tao provides is provided for all. The sage is a person who does not pursue earthly riches nor stature. He or she understands that enough is enough.
