""Look for It, you won't see It: It is called 'fleeting' Listen for It, you won't hear It: It is called 'thin'. Grasp at It, you can't get It: It is called 'subtle'." These three lines are about something that evades scrutiny. Yes, in it everything blends and becomes one. Its top is not bright Its underside is not dim. Always unnameable, It turns back to nothingness. This is the shape of something shapeless the form of a nothing this is elusive and evasive. Encountering It, you won't see the front following It, you won't see Its back. Keep to the Tao of the ancients and so manage things happening today. The ability to know the ancient sources, this is the main thread of Tao."
