Today's Tao
Therefore, although something is done, the sage doesn't rely on it. (Ch.77)
Attachment.
We all know that we have to avoid any form of attachment if we practice Tao or Zen.
Here, Lao Tzu repeats what he has told us in Tao Te Ching / Chapter 2 / Do not judge.
Don't "rely on" anything in your hologram.
Don't be attached to anything, right?
Why, though?
Because it is a catalyst.
"What do you mean by 'a catalyst'?", some might want to ask.
If you don't like the expression "catalyst", you may call it a text book.
Life and the world is your text book.
It teaches you by raising you higher.
It makes you learn by pushing you lower.
What do we have to learn, then?
Well, your hologram teaches you just one thing.
Send Love by accepting all.
