*
The ego is entranced by all these names and ideas, but
*the subtle truth is that the world and what it is made of are the
*same; neither one vast, neither one tiny.
Every thing is equal to every other thing.
Names and concepts only block your perception of this
*Great Oneness.
Therefore it is wise to ignore them.
Those who live inside their egos are continually
*bewildered: they struggle
*frantically to know
*whether things are large or small,
*whether or not there is a purpose
*to arising and passing away,
*whether the universe is blind and mechanical or the
*divine creation of a conscious being.
*
In reality there are no grounds for having beliefs or
*making comments about such things.
Look behind them instead, and you will discern the
*deep, silent, complete truth of the Tao.
Embrace it, and your bewilderment vanishes.
Lao Tzu
