Chapter 9
In carrying your corporeal soul and embracing the One, can you remain undivided?
In concentrating your vital breath and arriving at suppleness, can you become as an infant?
In cleansing and purifying the mysterious mirror, can you be without flaw?
In loving the people and governing the state, can you be without cunning knowledge?
When the gates of heaven open and close, can you embody the feminine?
With clarity penetrating in all four directions, can you remain without conceptual knowledge?
Giving birth to them, nurturing them; generating yet not possessing, acting yet not relying on the results, leading to maturity yet not dominating - this is called the Mysterious Virtue.
