Some may claim a day at the lake as peace, harmony with friends, a full belly, a loving relationship, ... Tao, the self, is beyond.
As these things have levels of heightened feeling or quality, they sit in a medium, that of mind, and also contain opposites, those of separation, loss, impermanence, pain, suffering.
Tao, the self, has no dual nature: contains all and so surpasses all that you may crave in the world of mind.

Excellent post...'true life' is beyond pleasure/pain, loss/profit, any type of duality. Attachement to either side keeps us trapped in a delusional trance of a real self. Hands palm to palm.
Lovely, Tao is nothing being everything all at once! For me it was the realization of that 'point of equilibrium' between all opposite polarities that brought about a shift into the simple beingness of 'Tao'.
