Heaven and Earth

The Great Way is formless; the universe is the Way with form. The universe itself does not speak; sages are a universe that can speak. I did not get to see the sages, but I have read their classic writings. By reading their classic writings, one can understand their principles; how is that different from seeing the sages?

The One creates our bodies and bestows our nature. Inside and outside both emanate from the One. We are within the Way, and the Way is in our hearts. If we observe the universe and emulate its wisdom, this is not different from the Great Way.

The path of humanity is always coordinated with heaven and earth in the alternation of movement and stillness. Human energy is always in communion with heaven and earth in the alteration of exhalation and inhalation.
