Yin and Yang are also a good example of this point as they embody the Tao. Representing balance, they show the natural duality of all things, and thereby are harmonious. Also the Yin and Yang, when they are together form a circle, which displays the idea of constant change that is always working towards balance. Even more importantly the circle represents going back to the beginning, rebirth, or starting over again yet maintaining poise. Now, trying to convey the slightly more ambiguous idea of Te is difficult.
Te is the power of change as it strives towards balance.
The profound effect that the Tao has, as described earlier, is Te, which is the medium through which the Toa manipulates us. This fact is supported in the aforementioned idea of balance and imbalance. Te is the Tao's power, or in a more cryptic form, it is not what but how. For those who conformed themselves to the Tao the way readily lends its power. This quote embodies Te and the Tao, although its emphasis is on the latter.
