Living the mystery…
The Tao that can be told
is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named
is not the eternal name.
The Tao is both named and nameless.
As nameless, it is the origin of all things.
As named, it is the Mother of 10,000 things.
Ever desireless, one can see the mystery;
ever desiring, one sees only the manifestations.
And the mystery itself is the doorway
to all understanding.
I have to figure out who translated this. But the original is from Lao Tzu. Its all about the duality of things. Yin, Yang, soft, hard, female, male, dark light. Somehow, Tai Chi is derived from this. Hopefully, some day I will understand how and why.
