Dao De Jing Poem

Dao De Jing #1

The paragraph speaks about the causality of things, it maybea God, allah or
whatever Divine entity we may call it, is the name in which all of us, we cannot
be surely right or certain whether the name that we have given to this entity is
the right name whatever their name is, there is only one thing that we can all
be certain, and that is their identity maybe one, or even all the knowledge that
we have about this entity is not enough to comprehend and understand what
underlies beneath the mystery of their name or identity. Their true identity,
will always be a mystery for the fact that our knowledge as human beings is
finite while the one we are trying to describe, interpret and understand is
something always greater than what our mind can reach, in other words, the
knowledge of this divine entity encompasses all of our knowledge and
thoughts about it, thus it will always remain a mystery.
