"Know the masculine, cleave to the feminine. Be the valley for the world. To be the valley for the world, do not swerve from your innate nature and return to the state of infancy. Know the bright, keep to the dull. Be a guide for the world, follow your innate nature without changing and return to the pre-conceptual. Understand glory, keep to humility. Be the valley for the world. Innate nature completed, return to original uniqueness. When original uniqueness is divided, It then becomes the instrumentalities. The Sage employs them, They then become the officers, Thus, subtle governance shapes not."
