What does all this amount to? You (the Tao) go to some mountain forest (the Tao) to follow the path (Tao) that leads to realizing (Tao-ing) the Tao! It sounds crazy, but it's wonderful. If you don't believe that, try it for a while--very sincerely, though not of course seriously (in the sense of experiencing humorless dedication, like a religious fanatic), for the Tao is most easily found when laughter comes spontaneously and one is comfortably realized. Strain, tension, solemnity will blind you to its lovely radiance.
