30.25

總角敦大道。弱冠弄雙玄。逡巡釋長羅。高步尋帝先。妙損階玄老。忘懷浪濠川。達觀無不可。吹累皆自然。窮理憎靈薪。昭昭神火傳。熙怡安冲漠。優遊樂靜閑。膏腴無爽味。婉孌非雅弦。恢心委形度。亹亹隨化遷。

In early youth I was earnest in the Great Way; / at capping age I sported with the Twin Mysteries. / Hesitating, I cast off the long net; / with lofty stride I sought the Sovereign of First Origins. / By wondrous lessening I stepped after the Mysterious Elder; / forgetting worldly care, I wandered freely by the Hao River. / In comprehensive view nothing is inadmissible; / all worldly entanglements are naturally blown away. / Exhausting the principles, I begrudged the physical firewood; / brightly burns the transmission of the spirit-flame. / Joyful and serene, I rest in the vast void; / roaming at ease, I delight in tranquil seclusion. / Rich meats offer no enticing taste; / delicate dalliance is no elegant music. / With an expansive mind, I surrender bodily forms; / ceaselessly I drift along with transformation.
