To enjoy the taste of all things have no taste for anything. To know all things learn to know nothing. To possess all things resolve to possess nothing. To be all things be willing to be nothing. To get to where you have no taste for anything go through whatever experiences you have no taste for. To learn to know nothing go whither you are ignorant. To reach what you possess not go whithersoever you own nothing. To be what you are not experience what you are not.
