The Way is a limitless vessel;
Used by the self, it is not filled by the world;
It cannot be cut, knotted, dimmed or stilled;
Its depths are hidden, ubiquitous and eternal;
I don't know where it comes from;
It comes before nature -Tao
I love reading various ancient sacred texts and finding glimpses of God. In this passage the Tao is telling us that the world in which we exist is completely separate from The Way. No matter how hard we try to pinpoint The Way, God or that thing beyond us, we will always fall short. God is separate from us and though he might reveal himself to us, there is no way for us to fully comprehend his complexities, his being, his truths.
