Tao Te Ching 51

All created matter springs from cosmic energy forces [Tao].
Each is nurtured by an inherent life force or 'innergy'
and formed by time and chance;
but it is adversity that perfects them.

Therefore all life-forms respect this Tao
and experience their highest good within its innergy.
This respect or awe is innate –
owing nothing to any intellectual conception.

     Thus we see that while:
"All created matter springs from cosmic energy forces -
and each is nurtured by an inherent life force,"
Tao also nurtures and guides each species in a heuristic evolutionary path,
developing the characteristics each requires for survival within its environment. 

     Note that while it creates life,
Tao places no restrictions around it.
When its forces interact they do so invisibly;
and their 'guidance' is never controling.

Assimilating all this
   is to discover the true innergy within oneself.
