We often hear of becoming ‘one with the Tao’. This is not quite right. We are already one with the Tao. It would be more accurate to say that we wish to ‘realize we are one with the Tao. Everything is in the Tao. The Tao is in everything. We are part of everything. It is only through a fault in the mind that we think we are separate. Or perhaps we just fail to remember. There is no need to seek oneness when you already have it.
