Both God and Tao are the environment in which we live. Tao is God without theology, doctrine, dogma. Beyond that, they are synonymous. Identical. Interchangeable. God, we might say, is Tao in the raw.

When we relax ourselves into our lives and do what is called for and needs to be done in each situation as it arises, we move easily along the path of least resistance, to wherever it is we will be when we get there, exactly like a river on its way to the sea. That is living our life as our life is meant to be lived, the way life has always been lived. It is the way everything lives. We are one with life that way. One with ourselves. One with the Tao. One with God.
