The great Wholeness seems incomplete,

but using it you findit inexhaustible.

The great Fullness seems empty,

but using it you find it limitless.

Its great truth appears wrong,

its great skills appear crude,

its great surplus seems lacking,

and its great speech seems inarticulate.

Just as activity overcomes cold

and being still overcomes heat,

so also attaining clarity and stillness

makes you one with the ordering principle of the world.
