Lao Tzu

was browsing through lao tzu teachings.
one of his teachings...
"stop thinking and end your problems"
at first thought it sounds funny though i have to figure out what he means by it.

a formless, unfantomable source of things -- Taoism

Look, it cannot be seen - it is beyond form.
Listen, it cannot be heard - it is beyond sound.
Grasp, it cannot be held - it is intangible.
These three are indefinable, they are one.

From above it is not bright;
From below it is not dark:
Unbroken thread beyond description.
It returns to nothingness.
Form of the formless,
Image of the imageless,
It is called indefinable and beyond imagination.

Stand before it - there is no beginning.
Follow it and there is no end.
Stay with the Tao, Move with the present.

initially tao's teachings seems absurd. but after going through few of them they starts to make "sense". i haven't read his teaching in a long time so forgot the essence of it. however he drives us to be in sink with nature, spontaneous action... he says to go with the flow(flow of nature) though most of them have tremendous paradox in them and go round in circles. but it is very interesting school of thoughts.

i wonder if we have come to far from nature to get back in sink with it?
