The inner is the foundation of the outer. The still is master of the restless. The Sage travels all day yet never leaves his inner treasure.
The Way is hidden and nameless. Still only the Way nourishes and completes.
Wise men hear and see as little children do.
Those who seek knowledge, collect something every day. Those who seek the Way, let go of something every day.
The sage does not strive to be great. Thereby he can accomplish the great.
The transformation toward eternal life is gradual. The heavy gross energy of body, mind, and spirit must first be purified and uplifted. When the energy ascends... then self mastery can be sought.
