That is how, without knowing it at all, I came to have the taste of Tao

Lao Tzu says, "Because few people understand me, I am dignified." Because masses are so foolish, if they cannot understand him, he is dignified: he is a super success. When the masses go to see a film it is a failure, flopped. It must be stupid; otherwise how does it attract so many stupid people? If it has flopped, it is a super success. It must be something which goes beyond ordinary mind. That's what a super success is. A Hitler is not a super success; masses worshipped him. That shows he belonged to the masses. He was an ordinary, stupid man. Lao Tzu is a super success: nobody knows, nobody heard about him -- not even a rumor. He comes and moves silently. He was a super success, and he knew it. He says in his TAO TE CHING, "I am dignified, because very few people can understand me. The whole world misunderstands me; that's why I am dignified." Rarer the understanding, rarer will it be understood, more possibility to be misunderstood.

How could God manage to make this world in only six days. And this world! Perhaps that's why He called His son Jesus! What a name to give to your own son!
