3.63
"A bird moving through the air; / (Bumping and knocking.)
A fish living in the water. / (Dispatched left and right.)
Forgetting each other in rivers and lakes; / (This side, that side.)
Attaining their aim in cloud and sky. / (Nothing acceptable, nothing unacceptable.)
If the mind intends by a single thread, / (Only in this mountain.)
Face to face is a thousand leagues apart. / (Clouds are deep; one knows not where.)
Knowing kindness and requiting kindness— / (Mindful here, mindful there.)
How few in the human realm!" / (One son intimately attains it.)
