Not to Know is to Know? To Know is not to Know?

Book: Discourse on Chuang Tzu

Chuang Tzu promoted carefree wandering and becoming one with “Tao” by freeing oneself from entanglement through the Taoist principle of non-causative action.

Excerpt from book Discourse On Chuang Tzu / Chapter 22 Sentient Awareness Journeys in the North

Thereupon Grand Purity looked up and sighed, saying, “Therefore, not to know is to know? To know is not to know? Who then is able to know the knowing that does not know?”
 
Non-Beginning said, “The Tao cannot be heard, for what can be heard is not the Tao. The Tao cannot be seen, for what can be seen is not the Tao. The Tao cannot be spoken, for what can be spoken is words is not the Tao. Do we know that which enables the formed to take form, when it itself is not form! There is no name that fits the Tao.”
 
于是泰清中而叹曰:“弗知乃知乎!知乃不知乎!孰知不知之知?”
无始曰:“道不可闻,闻而非也;道不可见,见而非也;道不可言,言而非也。知形形之不形乎!道不当名。”
