THE REAL MEANING OF TAO
TAO is neither a religion nor a
philosophy.
TAO is simply a way of life about the Way of life, that is, a
general way of thinking about
everything in life. It is a pathless path of humanity to live as if everything
is a miracle.
TAO is the Way through anything
and everything in life in order to fully experience them and live in balance
and harmony. TAO is not about avoiding or getting out of anything unhappy and
undesirable in everyday life, such as depression; rather, it is about going through depression by experiencing every
aspect of it in order to become enlightened,
if possible, with the profound human wisdom to continue living in peace and
harmony in a world of depression.
TAO is looking at life not as a series of both happy and unhappy
episodes, but simply as a journey of self-discovery and self-awakening to the
real meaning of life existence. You are defined not by your words and thoughts,
but by the ways you act and react, as well as the impact you may have on others
around you. You exist not because you are simply here; you are here in this
world to love and to learn how to live, as well as to help one another do the
same.
TAO is formless, shapeless, and inexplicable in words; after all,
it had existed long before there were even words. TAO is infinite human wisdom,
which is a pathless path to the infinity and the origin of all things.
TAO is not about making
your life any easier; it is about acceptance of all aspects of your humanity
that need to be fully experienced, embraced, and then to be let go of in order
to become wholesome at other times of your life and living—that is the essence of TAO wisdom, which is true enlightenment of
the human mind.
Living in a world of depression, you might want every-thing your
way or no way. But TAO is the Way through your depression, enabling you to
understand how and why you might have your depression in
the first place.
