The Tao is beyond words, beyond understanding.
Words can be used to speak of it, but they cannot contain it.
The Tao came before words and names,
before Heaven and Earth,
before the “Ten Thousand Things”.
Tao is the Ultimate source of all conventional things.
Therefore, to see beyond boundaries to the true reality of things,
dispense with words and names, with concepts,
with ambitions, and expectations, and differences, and desires.
The Tao and it’s many manifestations arise from the same source:
Subtle wonder within Mysterious darkness.
This is the beginning of all understanding.
(paraphrase of translation by Bryan Browne Walker)
