What does this means when Lao Tzu < tao te ching> saids this?
It means that Lao Tzu was not concerned with the three existences, only this one. It also means that Lao Tzu was not concerned for karma from previous existences, only this existence. It means that Lao Tzu traveled the paths of superficial observation that an open minded attitude of fully listening to people without interjecting one’s own thought into the listening and observing leads to success. Hundreds of people have written this. Some were in the quite ancient world and never heard of Lao Tzu. It means that his teachings are still popular with some people because they love seeming profundity coupled with actual shallowness.
