Una breve y pequeña cita de una vasta y gran importancia

A brief and small quotation of vast and great importance:

"As Hsu Yu said, name is only the guest of reality. It is what lies behind the name that matters, neh? I mean, where is the darkness? Where is it to be found? In the hearts of men? In the pupil of the eye? In shadows and the sunless depths of night? We say of a man that his heart is dark, and yet without the darkness, where is the light? Without evil,where is the good? You have understanding, Tsou Tsai Hei. You have been there. All your young life you have been a man of action. Now, as your middle years begin, you must adopt a different course. You must embrace wuwei, inaction.You must seek for te, the true virtue, that the Way provides."

Tsou Tai Hei - the walker in the darkness
te - the realization or expression of the Tao in actual living (Alan Watts)
wuwei - an old Taoist concept: keeping harmony with the flow of things, doing nothing to break the flow. As Lao Tzu said, "The Tao does nothing, and yet nothing is left undone."
