古之善為士者,微妙玄通,深不可識。
夫唯不可識,故強為之容。 豫兮若冬涉川;猶兮若畏四鄰;儼兮其若客;渙兮若冰之將釋;敦兮其若樸;曠兮其若谷;混兮其若濁;孰能濁以靜之徐清? 孰能安以久動之徐生?保此道者,不欲盈。夫唯不盈,故能蔽不新成。 The wise ones of old had subtle wisdom and depth of understanding, Who can find repose in a muddy world? He who embraces this Tao The image of Lao Tzu is from Zen Mama.
Here, Lao Tzu tells us the seven characteristics of the wise and old, or those who were monks. He is visionary and unfathomable. He is mysterious; we can barely describe him. However, Lao Tzu uses the following seven images to describe him- 1) Cautious, as if wading through an icy river in winter. Then Lao Tzu concludes that if muddy water settles and become clear after waiting patiently, therefore the wise will also remain unmoving until the right action arises by itself. In other words, he will stay calm and clear in chaotic times and seek change when it arrives. Again, Lao Tzu tells those who observe the Tao to not seek fulfillment. Like a valley, always keep yourself empty and humble, so you are beyond wearing out and are open to renewal. |
