"All men know the existence of beauty, Beauty, cleft asunder, is ugliness. All men know the existence of Love. Love, cleft asunder, is hatred. Therefore "possessions" and "Inner Life" interdepend in life. Difficult and easy interdepend in completeness. Long and short interdepend in form. High and low interdepend in alternation. Tone and voice interdepend in harmony. Before and after interdepend in sequence. That is why the self-controlled man makes it his business to dwell in the Inner Life; he teaches not by words, but by actions; he brings all beings into action, he does not refuse them; he gives them life, but does not possess them; he acts, but does not look for reward; he works out perfectness, but claims no credit. The Master, indeed, rests not on rewards. That is why he passes not away."
