"When 'carrying your soul,' embracing the One Thing, can you be undivided? When 'concentrating ch'i', bringing about Softness, can you be like an infant? When 'cleansing and purifying the mysterious mirror,' can you be without blemish? When 'loving the people and caring for the kingdom,' can you be without knowledge? When 'the Doors of Heaven open and shut,' can you remain Feminine? When 'Clarity and bareness penetrate everywhere,' can you remain not doing? Produce and nourish. Produce but don't possess work but don't rely on this preside but don't rule. This is mysterious Te."
