6.52
When a person of the Way roams through the world responding to conditions, they are unconstrained and untethered, like clouds forming rain, like the moon following the flowing stream, like an orchid residing in seclusion, like spring abiding in things. Their actions are without mind, yet their responses are accurate. This is the conduct of a person who has settled the great matter. Even more, one must turn back on the path and approach the father, setting foot in a secure place and placing one's body in purity. Standing solitary without a companion, penetrating the single path on the other side of Bhīṣmagarjitasvararāja, only then can one exhaust the center and edges, penetrate from the summit to the bottom, and have freedom in killing and reviving, rolling up and rolling out.
