One The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao The name that can be named is not the eternal Name. The unnamable is the eternally real. Naming is the origin of all particular things. Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations. Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source. This source is called darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding. A man, blind from birth, who when feeling his way along the wall encountered a mirror, hanging. He asked his sister, with whom he lived what it was. That's a mirror, he was told. In it is your reflection. What is a mirror? What is my reflection? I don't understand. A mirror is a polished glass that reflects the light and shows your image as the light reveals it. What is light? cried the bewildered man. All I have is darkness, and endless questions that cannot find their answers. You have your questions dear brother, that is enough, said the sister. |
