Tao (The Way of the Universe) acts with no differentiation and intent (大道無為)
18 X 50cm in Clerical Script (隸書)

Historical Information
Tao (The Way of the Universe) can be interpreted as the "Ultimate Truth" or "Natural Order of the Universe" in classical Chinese (1)(2).  According to Tao Te Ching (道德經) written by Laozi (老子) of the 6th Century BC, this Tao is indescribable - for if it is describable, it must thus be limited and cannot be the true nature of the unchanging and everlasting Tao (道可道,非常道).  “無為” is not “do nothing” nor “not act”. Instead, it refers to the undiscerning and indiscriminate characteristics of Mother Nature.  For further elaborations on “無為”,  please see Laozi’s Tao Te Ching.  
 

Text interpretation
 
Tao (The Way of the Universe) acts with no differentiation and intent.
