Everyone recognizes beauty only because of ugliness
Everyone recognizes virtue only because of sin
Life and death are born together
Difficult and easy
Long and short
High and low – all these exist together arrive together
Sound and silence blend together
Before and after
The Sage acts without action and teaches without talking
All things flourish around him and he does not refuse any one of them
He gives but not to receive
He works but not for reward
He completes but not for results
He does nothing for himself in this passing world so nothing he does ever passes.
