The Three Principle Texts of Daoism translated by ... - Bad Request

know not how. You are at rest, but know not why. Youtaste, but know not the cause. These are the operation ofGod's laws. How then should you get Tao so as to have itfor your own?"31.Man passes through this sublunary life as a sunbeampasses a crack--here one moment, gone the next.32.Mountain forests and loamy fields swell my heart withjoy. But ere the joy be passed, sorrow is upon me again.Joy and sorrow come and go, and over them I have nocontrol.Alas! the life of man is but as a stoppage at an inn. Heknows that which comes within the range of hisexperience. Otherwise, he knows not. He knows that hecan do what he can do, and that he cannot do what hecannot do. But there is always that which he does notknow and that which he cannot do; and to struggle thatit shall not be so--is not this a cause for grief?The best language is that which is not spoken, the bestform of action is that which is without deeds.Spread out your knowledge, and it will be found to beshallow.
