ALL-under-Heaven have a common Beginning.
This Beginning is the
Mother of the world.
Having known the Mother,
We may proceed to know
her children.
Having known the children,
We should go back and hold
on to the Mother.
In so doing, you will incur no risk
Even though
your body be annihilated.
Block all the passages!
Shut all the doors!
And to the end of
your days you will not be worn out.
Open the passages!
Multiply your
activities!
And to the end of your days you will remain helpless.
To see the small is to have insight.
To hold on to weakness is to be
strong.
Use the lights, but return to your insight.
Do not bring
calamities upon yourself.
This is the way of cultivating the
Changeless.
