Question: Please Explain me this Quotation of Bruce lee,one of the Greatest Martial Artist and Philosopher!?
The void is no mere emptiness, but is real, free and existing!. It is the source from which all things arise and return!. It cannot be seen, touched or known, yet it exists and is freely used!. It has no shape, size, colour or form, and yet all that we see, hear, feel and touch is "it"!. It is beyond intellectual knowing and cannot be grasped by the ordinary mind!. When we suddenly awake to the realization that there is no barrier, and has never been seen, one realizes that one is all things, mountains, rivers, grasses, trees, sun, moon, stars, universe are all oneself!. There is no longer a division or barrier between myself and others, no longer any feeling of alienation or fear!. Realizing this, results in true compassion!. Other people and things are not seen as apart from oneself, on the contrary, as one's own body

OK, Part of the quote is directly referring to "the Way" of Taoist philosophy!.
(the way is empty meaningless and void, but it shapes everything)
This expression of the void is also found in ancient Egyptian and Greek!.
It is expressed in the early forms of Stoicism!.
The ancients had no idea of Zero type nothing and regarded the void as a seething mass of unformed possibility!. A place where everything was present in its ideal perfect form, but unformed and unshapen!.
Out of the void we (or the gods) draw this Chaos into reality!.
giving it form and meaning
The gods might perfect it (usually not) and humans never get it right because we are even less perfect than gods!.
So everything that exists is in less than its perfect (ideal) state!.
I could go on!. But as I try to explain it, it could only get worse!.
Follow your nature, accept that nature!.
It is all empty and meaningless!.
So What!
It only has the meaning YOU give it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

take the keyboard in front of you for example!. you can call it a keyboard!. you can call mentally divide the keyboard into pieces maybe one piece is the 'a' key, another is 'b' key, another is 'c' key!.!.!. it has many keys, yet if you put them all together it's one whole keyboard!.
the mind segregates reality into shapes and other properties, when the reality itself doesn't possess any properties!.
once you realizes everything that the mind segregate reality is arbitrary and not real, one realize everything is the same thing, and thereby comes compassion because the computer is you, the chair is you, your friend is you, everything is you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
