Singapore time 9.10 am 5th July 2008In ancient time, men of Tao did not enlightened their subjects, but held them in ignorance. People are hard to govern when their intelligence increases. So to use intelligence to govern a country, it is the country's failure; not to use intelligence to govern a country, it is the country's prosperity. Know the two differences, they are moreover like moral pattern. Always know these moral pattern is called mystic virtue. Mystic virtue is deep and far reaching, then causes a return. Things return to reach the great peace.
Using all means to govern a country is no better than to appoint a morally pure man to be the country's hesd-of-state.
Taoism teaches government of the highest order which refers to the Sage king. So how can we separate religion and politics ?
In the past, communication is very slow, so it is no point teaching the people about governence. Also the time then was no ripe for public disclosure of the TRUTH. Just look at the Taoist Yoga. The master said it was transmitted from master to pupils. The writer of it would like to spread the Taoist meditation to as many as possible by writing the book.
Mystic Virtue is referring to the Mark on our forehead. We have to return to this VOID. Earth is going for transformation, so all Spirits from the VOID have to return.
