The disciples were absorbed in a discussion of Lao-tzu’s dictum: “Those who know do not say; those who say do not know.” When the Master entered, they asked him exactly what the words meant. Said the Master, “Which of you knows the fragrance of a rose?” All of them knew. Then he said, “Put it into words.” All of them were silent. [[Taoist Story]] #words #stillness #concept #experience
