Yield
to be whole.
Curl in order to straighten.
Empty
in order to be filled.
Grow old in order to be renewed.
Reduce
in order to receive.
Excess creates confusion.
The
sage embraces unity to become Heaven below’s (the sacred
body's) example.
They
do not display themselves, which allows them to shine.
They do not see themselves as being right, which allows them to
be outstanding.
They
do not show off, which allows them to be rewarded.
They are not arrogant, which allows them to endure.
It
is precisely because the masters do not resist Heaven below that
no one is able to contest them.
The
ancients said yield to be whole.
How can these words possibly be hollow?
True wholeness will be preserved and return to its original state.
