For the individual who selects the Tao for direction, no harm comes. In life, there are a few people who seemingly can do no wrong. These are the individuals who seem to avoid sickness, poverty, and any other calamities. Perhaps these are the people who are firmly rooted in the Tao.
According to the 55th verse of the Tao Te Ching, this is referred to as "perfect harmony."
To know harmony is know that which is changeless. To know that which is changeless is to have insight. Things rooted in the Tao remain, as those things which are not grow and eventually wither away. Whatever opposes the Tao eventually soon ceases to be.
Peace and blessings!

The Tao and Virtue by Dr. Andre Muhammad
The person who is firmly rooted in the Tao cannot be uprooted. Whoever embraces the Tao will not fall away. As an individual, I must remember to cultivate the self so that virtue can be realized. I must remember to cultivate the family so that virtue overflows. I must remember to cultivate the community so that virtue increases exponentially. I must cultivate the state so that virtue abounds.
Peace and blessings!
