“I alone am uncommitted like an infant who has not yet smiled…I alone seem as mindless as one who has no home to return to.”–Lao Tsu

“No home to return to” means there’s no set point to defend or cling to. Wherever you are is your home, if you can appreciate your “mindlessness”

Mindlessness is the state of mind that’s open to reality, exactly as it is in front of you, not what you want it to be.

Be at home anywhere.  Returning home is unnecessary.  You’re already there.

“What a fool’s mind I have!  How muddled I am!

…I am as unmoved as the ocean,

As ceaseless as the wind high in the sky.

…I alon am ignorant and dull.”  Lao Tsu

If you think too much of your intellect or accumulated knowledge, what is there for you to learn?  Only by embracing your ignorance will you eventuate wisdom.  To be embarrassed about the correction you receive in class is an arrogant, unappreciative, and careless mind-set.  The Beginner’s mind accepts corrections easily.
