71

Chapter 71 of the Tao Teh Ching speaks to sickness and health, knowledge, ignorance, and noble insight.

To realize that our knowledge is ignorance,
This is a noble insight.
To regard our ignorance as knowledge,
This is mental sickness.

Only when we are sick of our sickness
Shall we cease to be sick.
The Sage is not sick, being sick of sickness;
This is the secret to health.
