This is an interesting question...
one could understand it as if dao and tenthousand things have a personal mutual relationship...
but this would not harmonize with ddj5...
i think this:
the quote is from ddj 32
line one points to chang wu
remembering the definition of chang in ddj 16
萬物并作
吾以觀復
夫物芸芸
各復歸其根
歸根曰靜
靜曰復命
復命曰常
it is the merging... the interaction of pairs (并作) which is leading to an action of nature for harmonizing the polarisation
to have a chance for this feature tenthousand things behave like guests...
will say
there is interaction, respect, honouring the opposite and a looking for complementing...
but of course - there is no personal relationship
alike of a host and a guest
and of course:
as it is said in yijing:
there is an everlasting change...
