01.11.1997 - Interpretation of dali48 + update
In the "Tao Te Ching" we read:
Even if we try to see the path, it can not be seen! - So it can be described as "pale and shapeless." - Even if we try to hear it, it can not be heard. - We can describe it as "inaudibly quiet" - even if we try to grasp it, it can not be touched - so we can describe it as "subtle and tiny" - so the path is unfathomable - and the 3 aspects end in one - i.e. the path can only be represented as a pale, foggy and unfathomable deep "one." - The path is extremely indeterminate, extremely indistinct, and yet there is in it a sign of something - and yet something is there ... (Lao Tzu)

(Lao Tzu)
What was Lao Tzu's most famous quote? - “A man with outward courage dares to die; a man with inner courage dares to live.”02.03.2023

The idea that "even if we try to see the path, it cannot be seen" is a core concept in the Tao Te Ching, specifically in chapter 14. This verse highlights the ineffable nature of the Tao, the fundamental principle of the universe. It suggests that the Tao, or the Way, cannot be grasped by the senses or intellect in a concrete, definable way.
Here's a breakdown of the concept:
Indefinability:
The Tao is not something that can be pinned down with words or concepts. It's beyond the realm of ordinary perception and logic.
Beyond form:
Just as the verse says, "Look, and it can't be seen. Listen, and it can't be heard. Reach, and it can't be grasped." The Tao transcends physical senses and is not something you can find through external searching.
Not a destination:
The "path" isn't a literal road to be traveled. It's a metaphor for the way things are, the natural order of the universe. Trying to force an understanding or definition of it is futile.
Inner knowing:
While the Tao cannot be seen externally, it can be experienced through inner awareness and living in harmony with the natural flow of life.
Essentially, the verse encourages a shift in perspective. Instead of searching for the Tao in external things, one should look inward and cultivate a sense of connection with the natural world. The Tao is not something to be possessed or controlled, but rather to be experienced and lived by.

Yasunari Kawabata, ein japanischer Schriftsteller, erhielt 1968 den Nobelpreis für Literatur. Er war der erste japanische Autor, dem diese Auszeichnung zuteil wurde.
Kawabata wurde am 11. Juni 1899 in Osaka geboren und starb am 16. April 1972. Er ist bekannt für seine Werke wie "Schneeland" (雪国, Yukiguni) und "Tausend gefaltete Kraniche" (千羽鶴, Senbazuru). Seine Werke zeichnen sich durch einen lyrischen, melancholischen Stil aus, der traditionelle japanische Ästhetik mit modernistischer Sensibilität verbindet.
Die Verleihung des Nobelpreises an Kawabata im Jahr 1968 markierte einen wichtigen Moment für die internationale Anerkennung japanischer Literatur. Seine Werke wurden als Verbindung von Schönheit, Tod und dem Vergehen der Zeit beschrieben, oft unter Verwendung traditioneller japanischer Elemente. Kawabatas Nobelvorlesung betonte die Bedeutung von Einfachheit, Natur und der Rolle des Raumes in der Kunst.
Unter japanischer Literatur versteht man die in japanischer Sprache verfasste Literatur. Sie umfasst einen Zeitraum von circa 1300 Jahren, vom Kojiki bis zur Gegenwart, und sie entwickelte sich unter verschiedenen Einflüssen, wie dem Chinas oder Europas. Quelle: Wikipedia
Außerdem übersetzte er ( Mori Ōgais) Hans Christian Andersens autobiografischen Roman Der Improvisator, eine Liebesgeschichte, reich an poetischer Stimmung und den klassischen Stil nachahmend, 1892 ins Japanische.

Orientiert an der Psychoanalyse und beeinflusst von Joyce und Proust rückte der Seelenzustand in den Mittelpunkt des Schreibens.
