SoulType 9, Chapter 63


Act without doing (wu wei).
Work without working.
Taste without tasting.
Great is small, more is less.
Respond to hatred with the action of your soul.

Deal with the difficult by becoming one (with the source).
Easily become great through the exquisite.

The difficult endeavors of Heaven below (the sacred body) flourish through ease.
Heaven below’s great endeavors arise from the exquisite.

Until their last day, the sage does not act great, hence can accomplish great things.

To condemn the inarticulate diminishes trust.
Changing places (becoming one with) becomes very difficult.
By means of resembling the difficulty, the sage is free of difficulty until the end of their days.
