"Now, when black and white are not yet divided, this and that can hardly be distinguished; after black and yellow [appear], self and other are positioned in direction. Thereupon, black is borrowed to represent the upright, and white is used provisionally to show the partial. The upright does not abide in the upright: at midnight, an empty brightness. The partial does not abide in the partial: at daybreak, a dim obscurity. The entire essence is itself the function: blossoms open on a withered tree. The entire function is itself the real: fragrant clusters are not gaudy. Breaking down integration and exhausting the profound and subtle, the jade phoenix and golden simurgh cannot be disentangled. Therefore, on that side of Bhīṣmagarjitasvararāja, cease talking of how it is; bending [to circumstances] for the present age, it is deployed by human means. I briefly present my humble views to indicate a direction, hoping that those of like mind will kindly refrain from clapping their hands in laughter."
