刀鞘保护刀的锋利，它自己则满足于它的迟钝。
The scabbard is content to be dull when it protects the keenness of
the sword.

在黑暗中，“一”视如一体；在光亮中，“一”便视如众多。
在静听着的松林之间。
In darkness the One appears as uniform; in the light the One appears
as manifold.

大地借助于绿草，显出她自己的殷勤好客。
The great earth makes herself hospitable with the help of the grass.
