2 passages from Tao Te Ching which I interpret as a beautiful explanation of the word Islam(الاسلام) etymologically/metaphysically/psychologically.
.
"The sage stays behind, thus he is ahead.
He is detached, thus at one with all.
Through selfless action, he attains fulfillment."
(Tao Te Ching, VII)
.
"We join spokes together in a wheel,
but it is the center hole
that makes the wagon move.
We shape clay into a pot,
but it is the emptiness inside
that holds whatever we want.
We hammer wood for a house,
but it is the inner space
that makes it livable.
We work with being,
but non-being is what we use."
(Tao Te Ching, XI)
.
O wayfarer! Know that knowledge is not for power but realization of servitude and poverty for it being the highest attestation of a man to his highest reality. Then O wayfarer, don't even assert a potential for yourself to be actual for potentiality being your true actuality.
