Know the white, But keep the black, Be an example to the world! Being an example to the world, Ever true and unwavering, Return to the infinite.

Have patience. Wait until the mud settles and the water is clear. Remain unmoving until right action arises by itself.

The sage embraces the one, and is an example to the world.

To see things in the seed, that is genius.

Man at his birth is supple and tender, but in death, he is rigid and hard. Thus, suppleness and tenderness accompany life, but rigidity and hardness accompany death.

The sage acts without taking credit. He accomplishes without dwelling on it. He does not want to display his worth.

Because clarity and enlightenment are within your own nature, they are regained without moving an inch.
