The myriad creatures all rise together
And I watch their return.
The teaming creatures
All return to their separate roots.
Returning to one's roots is known as stillness.
This is what is meant by returning to one's destiny.
Returning to one's destiny is known as the constant.
Knowledge of the constant is known as discernment.



The most submissive thing in the world can ride
roughshod over the hardest in the world — that which
is without substance entering that which has no crevices.
