The origin of the world is its mother; Understand the mother, and you understand the child; Embrace the child, and you embrace the mother, Who will not perish when you die. Reserve your judgments and words And you maintain your influence; Speak your mind and take positions And nothing can save you. As observing detail is clarity, So maintaining flexibility is strength; Use the light but shed no light, So that you do yourself no harm, But embrace clarity.
