| Chapter Fourteen I look at it but I do not 'see', it is 'reading', I hear but I do not 'listen', it is 'rarification', I investigate and do not obtain a 'name', it is 'understanding'. (Heng: So much like verstehen!) All three cannot be further reduced, hence they are synthesized as One. I do not 'majorized' it into complexities, I do not 'minorized' it into simplicities, it can never be named, for it encompasses the transcending and the incorporeal. Hence it is the formless form, the non-existing reality, which is called 'In-Between Resemblances'. To recieve it is to not see its beginning, to follow it is not to see its end. To hold on to the Dao of the old, is to apply it to the new. To know the ontology of the old, is to know Dao Ji. (Heng: Dao Ji: Ontological-Epistemology, reading Essences of Dao. I find it hard to find a suitable word for it.) |
