By not acting one identifies himself with the Tao, and receives all its power.

And here we cannot doubt that the Chinese philosopher was pursuing the same course with Sakya-Muni.

The Tao of the one is the Nirvana of the other.

The different motive in each mind constitutes the difference of their career.

Sakya-Muni sought Nirvana, or the absolute, the pure knowledge, in order to escape from evil and to conquer it.
