The vacant heart

"Virtue in its grandest aspect is neither more nor less than following Tau. Tau is a thing indefinite, impalpable. Impalpable! Indefinite! and (yet) therein are forms. Indefinite! Impalpable! and (yet) therein are things. Profound! Dark! and (yet) therein is essence. This essence is most true, and therein is faith. From of old until now it has never lost its name. It passes into (or inspects) all things that have beginning. How know I the manner of the beginning of all things? I know it by this (Tau)."
