Dao De Jing 16

致虛極，守靜篤。 萬物並作，吾以觀復。 夫物芸芸，各復歸其根。 歸根曰靜，是謂復命。 復命曰常，知常曰明。 不知常，妄作凶。 知常容，容乃公，公乃王，王乃天，天乃道，道乃久，沒身不殆。

Getting all the way to the utmost of emptiness, preserving single-minded devotion to stillness.

Myriad phenomena simultaneously arise, and I use this to contemplate the way retracing steps back to earlier states is a returning to points of renewal and restoration.

In all instances of these many many phenomena, each one may be retraced back to and returned to the original state at its root.

Returning back to the original root is "stillness" - this means retracing back and returning to the heaven appointed mandate of destiny.

Returning to destiny is "constant persistence" - mastery over constant persistence is "luminosity".

Not mastering constant persistence, carelessly taking on inauspiciousness.

Mastering constant persistence, receptivity and tolerance. Receptive and tolerant, then impartial. Impartial, then intermediating between heaven and earth. Intermediating between heaven and earth, then heavenly. Heavenly, then of dao. Of dao, then long lasting. Dissolving and taking possession over the bodily container unscathed.
