Does anyone understand the Tao?

One who speaks of it, does not know! One who knows, does not speak of it!

Does the mother withold love from the child, unless out of pure selfishness?

Does the earth withold nourishment from the plant, unless out of pure greed?

Simply stated(as it should be), Tao shows us that two seemingly polar opposites, are, at their essence one.

So little feedback are you too confused?

Do you imagine the universe is agitated? Go into the desert at night and look out at the stars. This practice should answer the question. The superior person settles the mind as the universe settles the stars in the sky. By connecting one's mind with the subtle origin, one calms it. Once calmed, it naturally expands, and ultimately one's mind becomes as vast and immeasurable as the night sky.

Hua Hu Ching

Come on, at least enlighten us as to what you think about it!

One of the first books I read as a new shaman said that the oldest and most profound truth is that we are all One. And "we" means everything, not just us domesticated primates. It is, I think, impossible to grasp this from an intellectual standpoint, and when one DOES grasp it, words fail.

Hence--"those who know do not speak. . . ."
