Therefore the Sage embraces Unity, and is a model for all under Heaven. He is free from self-display, therefore he shines forth; from self-assertion, therefore he is distinguished; from self-glorification, therefore he has merit; from self-exaltation, therefore he rises superior to all. Inasmuch as he does not strive, there is no one in the world who can strive with him.

Not all spiritual paths lead to the harmonious Oneness. Indeed, most are detours and distractions, nothing more.

When cleverness emerges There is great hypocrisy.
