This Podcast presents interpretations of Chapter 71 from the Tao Te Ching, focusing on the concepts of knowing and not knowing. It contrasts those who humbly acknowledge their lack of understanding with those who boastfully claim knowledge. The text argues that true wisdom lies in recognizing one's limitations, unlike those suffering from the "sickness" of arrogance. Ultimately, the passage emphasizes the sage's ability to avoid this pitfall through self-awareness. This understanding allows the sage to continually pursue the Tao without the hindrance of self-deception.
