We look at it, and we do not see it, and we name it 'the Equable.' We listen to it, and we do not hear it, and we name it 'the Inaudible.' We try to grasp it, and do not get hold of it, and we name it 'the Subtle.' With these three qualities, it cannot be made the subject of description; and hence we blend them together and obtain The One.
Its upper part is not bright, and its lower part is not obscure. Ceaseless in its action, it yet cannot be named, and then it again returns and becomes nothing. This is called the Form of the Formless, and the Semblance of the Invisible; this is called the Fleeting and Indeterminable.
We meet it and do not see its Front; we follow it, and do not see its Back. When we can lay hold of the Tao of old to direct the things of the present day, and are able to know it as it was of old in the beginning, this is called (unwinding) the clue of Tao.
- There are many degrees and forms of love. Universal love is the deepest. If we really feel sorry for someone we are not just conscious of the person's physical or emotional suffering, their distress. We must become like them, have the same state of mind as they. Then how should we act to help, comfort, heal? We must, always, see things not from our own subjective point of view but by becoming the other, without duality. We must not just love but become identical with the other mind. In love we are always two. Compassion, or jihi is unity. When I meet you I become you. "How are you? Not so bad?" Somebody gave me a present yesterday. I must give him twice as much in return. Often, with love, it is impossible to do that, so in the end you escape. True compassion is genuine sympathy. We must forget ourselves and become the other. But compassion must always go hand in hand with wisdom. And wisdom with compassion. A great deal has been written on this subject in China and Japan. The whole world proclaims it, in fact, but in Buddhism it has become a powerful force. In love there is always duality, opposition between partners. But in compassion the two beings are only one. Love is relative. Compassion is total communion between two beings. But without wisdom love is blind. Nowadays many parents love their children with egotistical attachment, and so the children want to escape. Too much attachment is not true love, true compassion.
