The ancient Masters
didn’t try to educate the people,
but kindly taught them to not-know. When they think that they know the answers,
people are difficult to guide.
When they know that they don’t know,
people can find their own way. If you want to learn how to govern,
avoid being clever or rich.
The simplest pattern is the clearest.
Content with an ordinary life,
you can show all people the way back to their own true nature.
How do we make Cauliflower ‘Beef’?….. Not knowing.
Simple is the best pattern. You cut the head of cauliflower, after trimming it, into 3 to 4 slices, depending on its inner nature.
Show this vegetable its own true nature.
