“Be aware of Tao.” Isn’t that simple? No—let’s reduce more:
“Be
Tao.”
Why go through all this rigamorole?
Why endlessly examine scriptures and debate obscure actions of
long-dead saints and equally dead words? We need to affirm experiences
over word, individuality over dogma.
After all this study of Tao, there
should only be this simple conclusion: There is only us and Tao.
No, more simple still is to be Tao
itself. Then everything that is Tao is us.
Those who follow Tao reduce
everything in complexity until they reach the final irreducible
conclusion: You are Tao. When you can be that without any
contradictions, then you have truly achieved sublime simplicity.
