As regards the quietude of the sage, he is not

quiet because quietness is said to be good. He

is quiet because the multitude of things cannot

disturb his quietude. When water is still, one's

beard and eyebrows are reflected in it. A skilled

carpenter uses it in a level to obtain measurement.

If still water is so clear, how much more are the

mental faculties! The mind of a sage is the mirror

of heaven and earth in which all things are reflected.

 

- Chuang-Tzu
