Mind Like Water: TAO 56

October 1st, 2008

Those who know don’t talk.

Those who talk don’t know.

 

Block the passage

Bolt the gate

Blunt the sharp

Untie the knot

Blend with the light

Become one with the dust–

This is called original unity

 

It can’t be embraced

It can’t be escaped,

It can’t be helped

It can’t be harmed,

It can’t be exalted

It can’t be despised,

Therefore it is revered under Heaven.

TAO TE CHING by Lao-Tzu Translated by Stephen Addiss, Stanley Lombardo

I heard this one quoted in Forbidden Kingdom as I watched it today – I love Kung Fu movies!
