📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
Why must we first understand the natural principles of the universe before governing the world?
📝ONGO's Reflection
When I came upon this vast text, which melts the wisdom of many thinkers together like a furnace, I was overwhelmed by the intellectual scale of the ancient East. Liu An preaches that yielding to the great flow of nature—that is, to the Dao (the Way)—rather than to humanity's contrived rule, is the path to true harmony. Through a cosmic vision in which everything turns like interlocking gears, he makes us reflect on our own narrowness, bound to the small gains before our eyes.
