Not Knowing

A perfect man of Tao does not know himself; you know, because you are ill. Ego is illness, a substantial illness, because you continuously have to remember that you are somebody. This shows that you are deep into "dis-ease". Dis-ease creates the ego; a perfectly healthy natural being forgets completely. He is like a cloud, like a breeze, like a rock, like a tree, like a bird -- but never like a man. He is not, because only illness, like a wound, has to be remembered.

~ When the Shoe Fits: Commentaries on the Stories of the Taoist Mystic Chuang Tzu ~

I think this book will help me climb into the mind of Chuang Tzu. The above passage really speaks to me, but not in a way yet that I'm able to explain through word and thought. I need to meditate on the imagery a bit more.
