The Tao is as deep as can be.
Who is willing to pursue it closely?
If you don’t go into the tiger’s lair, how can you
catch its cub? If you don’t wash out the stone and sand,
how can you pick out the gold? Carefully seek the heart
of heaven and earth with firm determination.
Suddenly you will see the original thing;
everywhere you meet the source,
all is a forest of jewels.
