12.62

This old fellow has no place to stick an awl, yet is not poor; he possesses a priceless jewel, yet is not rich.
Viewing all goods, he does not rejoice; encountering all evils, he does not fear.
One move brought forth fully in broad daylight, yet not the finest hair is revealed.
Sometimes he conceals his body in flint sparks, yet interpenetrates within lightning flashes.
He blocks up Linji's three mysterious gates and cuts off Yantou's final phrase.
