Taoist Mysticism

You can`t see it, because it has no form.
You can`t hear it, because it makes no noise.
You can`t touch it, because it has no substance.
It cannot be known in these ways,
because it is the all-embracing Oneness.
It is not high and light,
or low and dark.
Indefinable yet continually present,
it is nothing at all.
It is the formless form,
the imageless image.
It can`t be grasped by the imagination.
It has no beginning and no end.
This is the essence Tao.
Stay in harmony with this acient presence,
and you will know the fullness of each resent moment.
Lap Tzu
Fifth - century BC Taoist sage
