I like how the daoists encompass a lot of poetry style writings by juxtaposing polarities to show the superficiality of dualism. Stuff like -if you don't contend, what is there to contend with you; water flowing around rock; one hand clapping; usefulness of emptiness is so things can be contained in it etc.

Just a side question though- What dualities are actually there if I exist? Surely, these are just manifestations of the mind taken out of context 😏

"Just as all environments and beings float in space,
so samsara and nirvana never crystallize in pure mind;
just as a variety of dreams occur in sleep,
so the six realms and the triple world manifest in mind:
all events at their arising, within the scope of gnosis,
are the cosmic gestalt of empty spontaneity."

I don't think I do yet, but I will persevere. Satori yet eludes me, but I have touched on Kensho once or twice I think.
