Thus, a strong army with rigid force shall not win.<br />A thick and big tree will be cut down for its use.<br />The big and strong will take an inferior position.<br />The soft and gentle will take superior position.<br />~ Lao Tzu, (Tao Te Ching; Chapter-76)<br /><br />How does gentleness overcome strength?<br />How softness over come hardness?<br />What is the way of Lao Tzu?<br /><br />Music Credits: Milind Date
