The small lamp of truth--Taoism

 

This is something in celebration of the Taoists. The great sage Lao Tzu maintained that real knowing is to know that the unknowable can’t be known. It leaves one with a clean slate at every instant, despite all the knowledge, information and analysis accumulated so far. It makes one an eternal learner, not learned. One flows with the flow. There is so much to learn at every instant, still one stays empty—an empty vessel where mother existence pours down a fraction of existence and a lovely unique manifestation happens. I’m glad that there are people who are in harmony with the Tao even in this post-modernist clatter and chatter!
