Excerpt from book Discourse On Chuang Tzu / Chapter 17 Autumn Floods
Tao is without beginning or end, while all the myriad things know life and death. All is transient, so no fulfillment is everlasting. Now void, now full, no form endures. The years cannot be held in check, time cannot be arrested. Decay, growth, fullness, emptiness, and once again decay turn in a never-ending circle. Against this backdrop, let us discuss the expedient approach of Great Meaning, and engage in discourse about the principle of the myriads of things. The life of things is like a horse suddenly kicking up its heels and galloping off at full pelt. With each step, it makes the necessary adjustments and modifications, with each passing moments its position shifts. Where, then, is the moment to accommodate doing and where is the moment to accommodate not doing? Everything will simply evolve by itself!
