Code Te Ching - Verse 46

When a tiger begins to run to parts unknown,
    she must first lean forward.
This is called instability.

When a tiger's paws land on the earth,
    they find their place of comfort.
This is called self-organizing.

When a tiger's eyes see, ears hear,
    the feet know to move.
This is called multi-learning.

When a tiger has her senses about her
    no trap can capture her feet.
This is called subtle control.

When a cub watches his mother run,
    he will mimic her movements.
This is called knowledge transfer.

Instability, self-organizing, multi-learning, subtle control, knowledge transfer.
This is the natural way of action.

Forced unnatural natural force? Madness!
Artificial process? Confusion!
The sage guides but does not manage.
