Many noble people wanted to learn from Lao Tzu, but it was impossible. People were too definite, but Lao Tzu is naturalness, it is nature itself. To learn from Nature, you need to be nobody or everything. Be One. Otherwise you will only dissect Nature.
It is said that when Chuang Tzu came to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu said:
- Great! Have you come to be my Master?
Chuang Tzu replied:
- Let's leave it! Why can't we just be?
And he touched Lao Tzu's feet. He exclaimed:
- What are you doing?
Chuang Tzu replied:
- Don't put anything between us. If I feel that I must touch your feet, then no one can stop me, neither you nor I. We're just watching it happen!
