Too many things to say...
I would like to listen to questions...
Anyways... Here's a second story:
Story2: Knowledge and the Tao
One day, a man named knowledge was on his way to the north when he ran into a fellow named Can't Say.
Knowledge: Excuse me, could you tell me how to think in order to understand the Tao, how to act in order to live at peace in the Tao, and how to attain the Tao?
Can't Say: I can't say, I can't say, I can't say...
Not getting an answer, knowledge continued on to the south side of the white river, where he ran into Absurd.
Knowledge: Pardon me, I would like to ask a few questions. Namely, how to understand the Tao, how to live at peace in the Tao,and how to attain the Tao?
Absurd: I know... and I'd like to tell you... but, darn it, I forgot what I was going to say...
Still unable to get an answer, Knowledge went to see the yellow emperor.
Emperor: Don't conscioulsly think, and you'll understand the Tao. Don't conscioulsly act, and you'll live at peace in the Tao, don't consciously try, and you'll attain the Tao.
Knowledge: Okay, now you and I know this, but why is it that Can't Say and Absurd don't know?
Emperor: Oh, there you are mistaken. They
DO know! Can't Say is one with the Tao, and Absurd isn't far away. It is you and I who still have a long way to go.
Conclusion:
"The man named Knowledge was of the realm of words, while Absurd was of the realm of language without words, and can't say was of the real of no mind, no words. The Tao cannot be understood through words alone."
I'm like Absurd. That's why I still can use words to tell you...
It's hard to pass this information in words because I don't use words to understand them.... I have to adapt my language to this understanding in order to pass the message along...
That's one of my favorite stories. It tells everything about the Tao in a simple way. That's Wisdom. Knowledge can't explain you exactly how the Tao is. But Wisdom can. And Wisdom come from experience.
Any questions?
Love,
