5.7 The Master said, “The Way/Dao makes no progress. I shall get upon a raft and float out to sea. I am sure You would come with me.”
The Master said, “You, shall I teach you what knowledge is? When you know a thing, to recognize that you know it, and when you do not know a thing, to recognize that you do not know it. That is knowledge.”
