A disciple once asked the master how he should contemplate the Tao. The master told him “Realize rather than analyze. Seek the way of the Tao. What is the good of theoretical musings and hypothesis that cannot be proven? Does any good come from making vain calculations? The vain man of intellect is uselessly busy in finding out the ‘why and wherefore’ of the Tao, while the humble man of wisdom makes acquaintance with the Tao and enjoys serenity in this world.”
