Tao Te Ching is an advice to the rulers, which is related to the general plan of governing the country. The political philosophy in it is easy to metaphysics or cultivate the mind.

Most people understand Laozi's spiritual enlightenment as "to be empty, to be quiet and to believe". Actually, it's not like this at all.

Laozi said, "Tao gives birth to one, two, three and everything." The universe is ever-changing, but only by grasping the evolution law of the universe can there be a way to follow.

But how to understand and say this Tao.

When you are old, use the words "Tao can be Tao, extraordinary Tao" to clarify.

What do these six words mean?

Zhuangzi knows that traveling north can be explained by a fable.

A gentleman named Zhi traveled to the north and met a man named Wuwei on a seaside hill with the same metaphorical meaning.

Knowing inaction means asking, "How can I find out what Tao is, how can I live in the world and be content with Tao, and how can I get Tao?"

Teacher Zhi asked three times in a row, but didn't answer, because he didn't want to answer, but he didn't know how to answer.

Mr. Zhi had to leave with regret, and soon he met a man named Kuang Qu and asked him the same question. The madman Qu said, "Well, I know your question, but I just wanted to tell you, but I suddenly forgot to say anything."

Mr. Zhi was helpless and went back to the underground palace to ask the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor said: "You can understand the Tao without thinking and consideration, you can be content with the Tao without living, and you can get the Tao without ways and methods."

Mr. Zhi finally knew, but he gave birth to a new question: "We both know, but they don't know. Who is right? "

The Yellow Emperor replied: "Doing nothing is right, but being crazy is right. We are still far away. " . The knower doesn't speak, and the speaker doesn't know, so the sage should teach without speaking. "

Tao cannot be said, but what can be said is not Tao. It depends on how you feel.
