Chapter 22, Part 7B - Chuang Tzu
At this point, Grand Puritv asked No-End, "Do you understand the Way?"
"I don't understand it," said No-End.
Then he asked No-Action, and No-Action said, "I understand the Way."
"You say you understand the Way - is there some trick to it.
"There is."
"What's the trick?"
No-Action said, "I understand that the Way can exalt things and can humble them; that it can bind them together and can cause them to disperse. This is the trick by which I understand the Way.' ~ Burton Watson translation via Terebess Asia Online ~
