Tao Te King 71

Connaissant l'inanité de la connaissance
On est parfait
L'ignorant on souffre d'un mal

Mais qui atteint souffre d'être atteint
Cesse d'être atteint

Les Saints cessaient d'être atteints
Parce qu'ils souffraient d'en être atteints

( par  Claude Larre )

'

To know when one does not know is best.
To think one knows when one does not know is a dire disease.
Only he who recognizes this disease as a disease
Can cure himself of the disease.'
The Sage's way of curing disease
Also consists in making people recognize their diseases as diseases and thus ceasing to be diseased.
