第二、解釋也。無狀者,無狀貌也。無名者,無名字也。聖以之靈者,以用也。聖人用此靈通,無所不知也。聖以之虛故虛不失照者,雖虛而不失照鑒之用也。無狀無名故照不失虛者,雖照知而不取相也。混而不渝者,混,雜也。渝,變也。出杜預注《春秋》。雖混同萬法,而各各差別,不渝變也。動以接麁者,有所動作,應接機緣,故云接麁也。是以聖智之用下,常有用未嘗暫廢,只自求其形相不可暫得也。

The second section is the explanation. "Without shape" means without appearance. "Without name" means without appellation. "The sage is spiritual through it": "through" means "uses." The sage uses this spiritual penetration so that there is nothing he does not know. "The sage is empty through it, so being empty, he does not lose illumination": Although empty, he does not lose the function of illuminating contemplation. "Being without shape and without name, his illumination does not lose emptiness": Although illuminating and knowing, he does not grasp at characteristics. "Blending without changing": *hun* means blending; *yu* means changing. This comes from Du Yu's commentary on the *Chunqiu*. Although blended together with the myriad phenomena, they each remain distinct and do not change. "Moving to engage the coarse": Making movements to respond to circumstances is called "engaging the coarse."
From "Therefore, the functioning of sacred wisdom": It always has function and is never interrupted even for a moment, yet seeking its form is never possible even for an instant.
