The Truth is what you are inspite of your identification with the false ||AcharyaPrashant,on Lao Tzu

In early ancient mankind, Tao has been in existence in one’s true nature.

Men possess It without knowing.

Tao-Te-Ching by Lao Tzu

(Chapter 17)

*S*peaker: In early ancient mankind, Tao has been in existence in one’s true nature. Men possess It without knowing.

What does Lao Tzu mean by ‘ancient’? When we commonly use the word ‘ancient’ what we mean is, going back in time. When a wise man uses the word ‘ancient’ in a spiritual connotation, what he means is, going not really back linearly into time, but going to the center of time. Going to the point where time is not there.

Time, when we say that we are going back in it; that really is a meaningless statement. Why? It is because as far as the mind is concerned, time has no beginning and no end. Time is an expanse with no beginning and no end, as far as the mind is concerned. Mind itself is time. Where time ends, mind too ends. Where time begins, mind too begins. So as far as the mind is concerned, there can be no beginning and no end of time
