Enlightenment

mobius strip

The path to enlightenment lies along the single surface of a mobius strip. It is thus a road of finite length, but it has no beginning and no end. Have you noticed that when viewed from a certain perspective the mobius strip looks just like the mathematical symbol for infinity?

Ants too may trudge along a path on the mobius strip, blindly following the one ahead and sensing the one behind.

Ants do not look up to see the stars. The stars do not care if anyone looks at them.

He who knows others is wise; He who knows himself is enlightened.
