If one wants to be a lion, one must adopt the ways of a lion. Similarly, if one wants to be unified with Tao, then one must adopt ways of the Tao. Must surrender illusions and judgments, pre-conceptions and discriminations. Accept all that flows down the river. Cannot only select and choose and be ‘convenient’ Taoist. Must accept inconveniences as well. All things are Tao and must be acknowledged as such. Must swallow what is sweet as well as sour.
