Only when humbled does one realize the danger of climbing.
Only when obscured does one know about the pain of being in the limelight.
In tranquility, you would realize the stress of exercise.
Keep your lips sealed, and you shall know how foolish verbosity is.

The music of rustling pines. The tinkling of spring water over rocks.
Everything entering your ears is part of Nature's chimes.
The haze over tall grasses. The cloud's shadow amidst water.
Watching them at leisure is like reading the best essay of the Universe. |

Be a little unwitting and stay away from astuteness,
save some righteousness for the world.
Rid of extravagance and lead a simple life,
save an untainted name in history.

Music, books, poems, and paintings cultivate a scholar's mind,
whilst a common fellow only enjoys the superficiality.
Mountains, rivers, clouds, and scenery enrich an intellectual's knowledge, yet an
ordinary person only appreciates the image.
Nothing defines anything. It is all subject to one's comprehension.
So, to pursue knowledge, one needs to have insights. |
