4.56

"In the secondary division, awakening breaks delusion (the man of Puzhou sending off a thief); / quickly must one let go of the hands and abandon the fish-trap and snare (put it down!). / If the achievement is not exhausted, it becomes an extra thumb (in the end, superfluous); / wisdom is difficult to perceive, awakening [comes only to] biting one's navel (where Yu's strength does not reach, the sound of the River flows west). / The rabbit grows old in the ice disc, weeping autumn dew (lingering attachments are unbearable); / the bird is cold on the jade tree, the morning wind chilling (sitting still is impermissible). / Bring it to Great Yang to discern true from false (not a bit can be deceived); / completely without blemish or flaw, the white jade disk is prized (be very careful not to break it)."
