Live Consciously

Tao #1

The Way realized within the self is not true;
The world constructed in the mind is a shadow.
The Way discovers all that happens and may happen;
The world expresses all that exists and may exist.

To feel without abstraction is to sense the world;
To experience with concepts is to know the world.
These two paths are same;
Their constructs differ but their effect is the same.

Beyond experience, beyond senses flows the Way,
Which is more vast and more subtle than the world.
