| The non-action of the wise person Is not inaction. It is not studied. It is not shaken by anything. The sage is quiet Because she is not moved, Not because she wills to be quiet. Her quietness is the mirror Of heaven and earth The glass of everything. Emptiness, stillness, tranquility, Traceless, Silence, non-action: This is the level of Heaven and earth. This is the perfect Tao.
