Tao Te Ching Chapter 71-1 Learn knowing nothing


Today's Tao

To know "not knowing" is the best. (Ch.71)


You must be a smart person.

Admit it!

You are intelligent, or at least intellectual because you are interested in Taoism and other Oriental philosophies.

You know you are much smarter than others, don't you?

If you are truly smart, of course you know you don't know anything.

Lao Tzu says here that the most knowledgeable person doesn't know anything.

Does it sound contradictory?

Oh, no. Not at all.

It is totally logical because the smartest person knows that knowledge is part of his hologram, which does not belong to him as the clouds in the sky don't.

He is aware that he knows nothing.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 9-2 Don't be sharp


Today's Tao

If you hammer and sharpen it, you cannot keep it long. (Ch.9)


Don't be sharp.

Don't be smart.

Don't use your intelligence.

If you are sharp and brilliant, it is hard for you to accept all.

If you cannot accept all, you cannot be one with Tao.
