00:00A man once asked a Fakir,

00:02There are so many women in the city.

00:05Can you tell me who is the most pious one?

00:07The Fakir pointed to the most infamous, notorious prostitute.

00:12He said, this one is the most pious woman in the city.

00:17That man said, sir, what are you saying?

00:19It is common knowledge that she is a sex worker.

00:21The Fakir said, I maintain that she is very pious.

00:24The man said, how?

00:25He said, when she is with somebody, she is only with that person.

00:30Unlike most other women who claim to be with one, but are actually with many.

00:35The story is just symbolic.

00:37But it tells of how, what appears like that parent, superficial virtue, might not be virtue at all.

00:45That does not mean that harlots are necessarily more virtuous than ordinary women.

00:50Lao Tzu says, when virtue is called as virtue, rest assured that there is no virtue.

00:55He says, when love is called as love, rest assured there is no love.
