The concealment of the light

"Heaven and Earth are mighty in continuance, because their work is delivered from the lust of result. Thus also the sage, seeking not any goal, attaineth all things; he doth not interfere in the affairs of his body, and so that body acteth without friction. It is because he meddleth not with personal aims that these come to pass with simplicity."
