LOOK at it but you cannot see it!
Its name is Formless.
Listen to it but you cannot hear it!
Its name is Soundless.
Grasp it but you cannot get it!
Its name is Incorporeal.
These three attributes are unfathomable;
Therefore they fuse into
one.
Its upper side is not bright:
Its under side not dim.
Continually
the Unnameable moves on,
Until it retums beyond the realm of
things.
We call it the formless Form, the imageless Image.
We call
it the indefinable and unimaginable.
Confront it and you do not see its face!
Follow it and you do not
see its back!
Yet, equipped with this timeless Tao,
You can harness
present realities.
To know the origins is initiation into the Tao.
