Those who know TAO don't say that they know. The TAO cannot be told. Those who say that they know don't know. Therefore I say: "those who know don't say. those who say don't know." Be still. Block all the openings, close all the doors. Mouth closed, senses blocked. Blunt your sharpness. Loosen, untangle the knots, soften the glare, subdue the bright, harmonize the lights. Settle the dust. Unite the world into one whole. This is "primal identity", "the mystical identity", "the Mystical whole". Be like the TAO, it can't be grasped nor rejected, benefited or harmed, nor can it be understood or conquered, honored or brought into disgrace. It is always available. It gives freely, unconditionally. That is why it endures, and why the TAO is valued and respected. The TAO blends all in its own nothingness. We all have nothing in common. It is the ground of our being.
