Lao Tzu by raj arumugam tts books

As you stand before me, all I see before me is the past.
The past is in your faces.
Even as you speak and as you expound and as you try and persuade, all I hear is the past. Someone discovered something centuries ago and you are stuck there. The past is in your heads and in your throats and in your words.
For what is that you tell me?
All you tell me are ideas that are dead. You have clever and charming words to justify these borrowed ideas - but they are dead. And you live to keep the dead alive.

- from Lao Tzu by Raj Arumugam
