still point

[Guest guest]

Tao is obscured when men understand only one pair of opposites,or

concentrate only on a partial aspect of being.Then clear expression

also becomes muddled by mere wordplay,affirming this one aspect and

denying all the rest.The pivot of Tao passes through the center where

all affirmations and denialsconverge.He who grasps the pivot is at the

still-pointfrom which all movements and oppositions can be seen in

their rightrelationship...Abandoning all thought of imposing a limit

or taking sides, he rests in directintuition.Taoism: pp. 59, 61 of

The Way of Chuang Tzu

Neat, neat
