Mind like water: Tao 12

Neil April 2nd, 2008

Tao 12

The five colors blind the eye.

The five tones deafen the ear.

The five flavors dull the taste.

Racing and hunting maddens the mind.

Precious things lead one astray.

Therefore the sage is guided by what he feels and not by what he sees.

He lets go of that and chooses this.

Mind like Water - Tao 8

Neil January 31st, 2008


Tao 8
The highest good is like water.

 

Water gives life to the ten thousand things and does not strive.

 

It flows in places men reject and so is like the Tao.
