Excerpt from Wu Wei

My work is permeated with this essence, but it is no translation of lao-tse. None of my metaphorical comparisons, such as that with the landscape, with the sea, with the clouds, are anywhere to be found in lao-tse's work. Neither has he anywhere spoken of Art, nor specially of Love. In writing of all this I have spoken aloud the thoughts and feelings instinctively induced by the perusal of lao-tse's deep-felt philosophy. Thus it may be that my work contains far more of myself than I am conscious of but even so, it is but an outpouring of the thought and feeling called up in me by the words of lao-tse.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a journey of philosophical exploration, drawing upon the ancient wisdom of Lao-Tse, a revered figure in Chinese philosophy. The author, through a series of dialogues between a young seeker and a sage, delves into the profound concept of Tao, the ultimate principle of reality, and its intimate connection to human existence. The author, however, does not simply offer a translation or interpretation of Lao-Tse's work. Instead, he uses the sage's teachings as a springboard to explore the fundamental principles of nature, art, and love, offering insights into how these interconnected concepts manifest in the human experience. The book presents a compelling argument that true wisdom lies not in striving for knowledge, virtue, or even happiness, but in embracing a state of Wu Wei - non-resistance - by allowing oneself to flow naturally with the inherent impulses of Tao. Through this perspective, the author challenges conventional notions of good and bad, arguing that true fulfillment comes from surrendering to the inherent harmony of the universe, finding peace in the embrace of the eternal Tao. The book offers a timeless exploration of the human condition, revealing the beauty and simplicity that lies at the heart of existence.
