In this episode, Gabriel Raam, a unique philosopher, author, and thinker from Israel, gives his unique, radical interpretation of chapter 56 of the Tao Te Ching.
Those who know do not talk.
Those who talk do not know.
Keep your mouth closed.
Guard your senses.
Temper your sharpness.
Simplify your problems.
Mask your brightness.
Be at one with the dust of the earth.
This is primal union.
He who has achieved this state
Is unconcerned with friends and enemies,
With good and harm, with honour and disgrace.
This therefore is the highest state of man.
Chapter 56 of Tao Te Ching, as translated by Gia-Fu Feng (馮家福 Feng Jia-fu, 1919–1985) and Jane English (1942–), Vintage Books, 1989
