You do not see how. It flows. That is all. There is no place where this is not so. The mind turns away because the Way loves and does not prefer. The current has a shape. The shape is made. Walk the street — the world gathers. Walk the street — the world falls away. What you see is the lesson. Outside the made thing the mind names many forms. The Way is the whole. The whole has no edge. It unfolds without effort. Every act sits inside it. No act steps outside what already is. The sage keeps still only to see. Seeing is the teaching. If they do not know, the Way knows. If they do not look, the Way looks. Who learns from your life? That is left to you.
