"Those who know don’t speak; Those who speak don’t know. Stop all outlets, Close all doors, Blunt the sharpness, Resolve the differences, Soften the light, Blend in with the dust— That is called Profound Commonality. Attaining this, you will not feel favored; Attaining this, you will not feel estranged; Attaining this, you will not seek profits; Attaining this, you will not do harm; Attaining this, you will not become ennobled; Attaining this, you will not become debased— That is why the whole world honors such a state."
