" I REJOICE in Lieh Tzu - he is one of the most perfect expressions for the inexpressible. Truth cannot be expressed: that inexpressibility is intrinsic to truth. Thousands and thousands of people have tried to express it - very few have succeeded even in giving a reflection of it. Lieh Tzu is one of those very few; he is rare. So the first thing to be understood about Lieh Tzu: he is not a theoretician, he will not give you any theory; he will simply give you parables. Lieh Tzu is not a theologian either; he does not talk about God. He TALKS GOD, but he does not talk about God. Whatsoever he says comes from the source, but he does not TALK ABOUT the source let it be very clear to you. There are two types of people: one who talks about God, he is the theologian; one who talks God, he is the mystic. Lieh Tzu is a mystic. The man who talks about God has not known God. otherwise why should he ‘talk about’? The ‘about’ shows his ignorance. When a man talks God he has experienced. Then God is not a theory to be proved, disproved no; then God is his very life: to be lived. Lieh Tzu was one of the masters of the school of Lao Tzu, one of the enlightened disciples of Lao Tzu. And Lieh Tzu was not an ordinary master, not concerned with your small problems, your actions, not concerned with small teachings. Lieh Tzu was concerned only with the ultimate. He had many disciples. I say to you that when Lieh Tzu says ‘I know’, he knows. And his ‘I know’ means exactly the same as when the Upanishads say ‘I don’t know’. His ‘I know’ means exactly the same. It means exactly the same as when Socrates says ‘I don’t know a thing’. By saying ‘I don’t know a thing’ Socrates is denying the ‘I’. But by saying ‘I know’ as a simple fact, as an ordinary fact, with no claim, Lieh Tzu is doing a far greater miracle because - listen to it - sometimes a pretender can pretend and say ‘I don’t know’ in the hope that you will think that he knows. Because the Upanishads say so and Socrates says so, a pretender can say ‘I don’t know’ and hope that you will think that he is a knower, that he is another Socrates. Mind is very cunning. So remember one thing: if a mind is simple, humble, and simply states the fact, then that is the truth - whatsoever the fact."
@@bambimonkey yes Osho. Easiest way to discover him is either through his recorded talks made into books--they total well over 300, or just see his talks on youtube. He's my main man. Really love him. His book Glimpses of a Golden Childhood is where he talks about is early life and I highly recommend it.
I had forgotten about this book -- delightful! Does anyone know where I can find a similar vid for Bo-tzu (I'm not sure whom that is, but he is mentioned a few times?)
A Classic Chinese text, Translated by a western Christian missionary, and read in a monotone voice by a guy who stumbles over every single Chinese word.
My favorite! Even the way he says 'Lie Zi' changes throughout the reading just like how Qi transforms in the Universe. It is never the same. Honestly, LibriVox should get some Sinologists to read these Chinese Classics.
@@Sage-and-ScholarMan, you're asking too much for stuff that's free. As we say here in Brazil, one should not look at the teeth of a gift horse. If people complaining cared so much, they would volunteer to read these texts.
TH-cam audiobooks recorded at very low sound levels so you can't hear them on your phone are also part of the Tao.
After reading this comment unhappy viewer left everything and worked towards the attainment of Tao for the rest of his life.
It's the still, small voice :) zing

列子！没想到还有西方人对列子也感兴趣。
我们西方人也非常喜欢中国的古代哲学。
