The student learns by daily increment.
The Way is learned by daily loss,
Loss upon loss until
At last comes rest. By letting go, it all gets done;
The world is won by those who let it go!
But when you try and try,
The world is then beyond the winning. 為學日益,為道日損。損之又損,以至於無為。無為而無不為。取天下常以無事,及其有事,不足以取天下。 道德經, Tao Tê Ching, 章 “poem” 48, (tr.) R B Blakney
From The Teachings of the Mystics, Walter T Stace, 1960 老子, Lao Tzu…2500 year old 21st Century foreign spy. |
