Book: Discourse on Chuang Tzu
Sentient Awareness Journeys
Excerpt from book Discourse On Chuang Tzu / Chapter 22 Sentient Awareness Journeys in the North
Nieh Ch’üeh asked P‘i-i about Tao. P’i-i replied, “Settle your body in the correct position, focus your vision on oneness and the harmony of Heaven will come upon you. Call back your knowledge, maintain spontaneous harmony in your bearing, and the spirits will come and dwell within. Te will increase and flourish abundantly and Tao will dwell within you. Your gaze will be as innocent as that of a new-born calf which does not seek to question the ‘how’ or the ‘why’ of things.” Before P’i-i had even reached the end of the sentence, Nieh Ch’üeh fell into a sound sleep. Feeling immensely pleased, P’i-i left and walked away, singing to himself:
The body turned to a withered corpse,
The mind became dead ashes,
In full knowledge of reality,
Free from insistent reasoning,
Oh, dim, dark, and mindless is he!
Absent, in his mindlessness for dialogue or debate.
What kind of man can this be!
啮缺问道乎被衣。被衣曰：“若正汝形，一汝视，天和将至；摄汝知，一汝度，神将来舍。德将为汝美，道将为汝居，汝瞳焉如新生之犊而无求其故。”言未卒，齧缺睡寐。被衣大说，行歌而去之，曰：“形若槁骸，心若死灰。真其实知，不以故自持。媒媒晦晦，无心而不可与谋。彼何人哉！”
