remain serene in the unity of things


 

The perfect Way’s like boundless space

Nothing lacking, nothing extra

It is because of choice

That its absolute truth is lost.

Don’t pursue externals;

Don’t dally in the interior void.

When the spirit remains serene

In the unity of things

Dualism vanishes by itself;

When that unity is not clear

There is loss in both directions.
