We don't grill people here. We eat them raw!

Reminds me of the parable of the thief trying to steal gold in the market place. "All I could see was the gold." People run for the powerful feeling of trying to diminish someone with power, blind to their own hasty ignorance.

Reminds me of these words:

 

 

The Dao De King is all that one needs to know and a open heart and mind.

 

I simply could not have expressed it more simple or better myself :)

 

flowing hands ... maybe we should continue in the Tao Te Ching forum in this site?

I and others are interested in talking about some of the difficult to understand chapters!

I am myself most interested in those chapters that are in the exavacated Guodian version.

E.g. chapter 25 ... why do you not use the word 'follows' in your last line of the chapter?

 

Man follows the Earth

Earth follows Heaven

Heaven follows the Dao

Dao is what is natural

 

The character 'follows' occurs in all four lines but you treat the last differently?

I hope that you will explain why in the 'chapter 25' thread.
