道可道非常道

from Verse 1

The tao that can be tao'd is not the unique Tao.


No one can tell you what your path is. That includes spokespeople for religions and any book claimed to be "the word of God". These are books are not the actual word of God, but the interpretation by man of what they think God said to them. Ignore them. Find your own path.

The name that can be named is not the true name.

It's true name is not "water", anymore than it is "agua", 水 or "H2O". Would not a rose by any other name smell as sweet?
