Tao is the expression of a perfect blend between the male and female principle; East and West; will and not act; desire and renunciation.
This alchemy of the denial (denial of all that, as normal, assures Man power) is born the quality of holiness. Holiness as the ability to see beyond appearances and triumph of aesthetics Manichaeism.
The Tao confirms the illusion of things and says that nourishes the invisible reality that is listening to her. Feeding the Tao is like when Mary was fed from the hand of Angels: no longer beg food, but taste it; do not ingest anything impure but healing through foods: food of the mind, put the World, spiritual food, dishes that align themselves with the source of Being.
Read Tao is a difficult and almost impossible task for us Westerners. It will be inspired to read the little book of Erik Sablé Dervy, libertarian Taoist wisdom that offers a clear introduction to the great Chinese religious text.
