30.27

Far-off thoughts abide in the Mysterious: / how expansive the gentle wind! / The myriad creatures weave flourishing prosperity; / the path of life runs unbroken in dim confusion. / Once the great limpidity and truth are lost, / lured by external things, wisdom is dispersed. / Of old we heard of Cook Ding: / wielding his cleaver, he followed his spirit's movement. / If one can carry on the subtle sound, / tending life is easy as turning one's palm. / Astride the gap where incoming things arise, / one casts oneself into this silent, bright illumination. / Surpassing ordinary bounds, pushing through coiling and unfurling, / forgetting worldly care, one joins with the Formless. / Intermingled joys fill heart and breast; / spiritual communion flows through every motion. / The Great Unity gathers the myriad differences, / flourishing as though filling the royal hunt-nets. / A traveler in this ocean of flesh, surrendering to native earth, / one transforms together with Heaven and Earth.
