To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Love is not the desire to see the loved one absorbed into Tao ; love is the longing to be always with her ; the deep yearning for the blending of the two souls in one ; the hot desire to soar, in one breath with her, into felicity ! And this always with the loved one alone not with others, not with Nature. And were I ab- sorbed into Tao, all this happiness would be for ever lost ! Oh let me stay here, in this goodly world, with my faithful companion ! Here it is so bright and homely, and Tao ...is still so gloomy and inscrutable for me. " " The bodily desire dies out, " he answered calmly. " The body of your loved one will wither and pass away within the cold earth. The leaves of the trees fade in autumn, and the withered flowers droop sadly to the ground. How can you love that so much which does not last ? However, you know, in truth, as yet, neither how you love nor what it is that you love. The beauty of woman is but a vague reflection of the formless beauty of Tao. The emotion it awakens, the longing to lose yourself in her 72 THE RHYTHM OF LIFE beauty, that ecstasy of feeling which would lend wings for the flight of your soul with the beloved beyond horizon-bounds, into regions of bliss be- lieve me, it is no other than the rhythm of Tao ; only you know it not.
