Taoist masters only talk about "the Way." Tao means the Way - they don't talk about the goal at all. They say: The goal will take care of itself; you need not worry about the goal. If you know the Way, then you know the goal, because the goal is not at the very end of the Way, the goal is all along the Way - each moment, wherever you are, you are at the goal if you are on the Way. To be on the Way is to be at the goal. Hence, Taoists don't talk about the goal, they don't talk about God, they don't talk about moksha, nirvana, enlightenment - no, not at all. Very simple is their message: You have to find the way.
