Fish live in water. Men die in it.Nature is diverse, and not all tastes are the same.

When you are identified with the One, all things will be complete to you.

Transmit the established facts; do not transmit words of exaggeration. If you do that, you will probably come out all right.

But it is itself neither fullness nor emptiness
