| Asking About the Dao:...: |
Someone asked about the Dao. Yangzi said: The Dao is like a road or a river. The carts and boats hustle and bustle, not stopping day or night. The other said: How does one get on the straight dao and follow it? Yangzi said: Although the road is crooked, if it still reaches the Xia, then follow it. Although the river is winding, if it still reaches the ocean, then follow it. The other said: So although one's affairs may involve a crooked path, if it still reaches the sage, then follow it? |
