To take the roots from which

All things spring; to see deficiency

 In accumulation; to dwell in the solitude

Of one's individuality with the spiritual

And intelligent--such a course belongs

Only to those who appreciate it

As their determining self-nature.

When they hear of such a pathway,

They are delighted with it;

They maintain their style of life

On the assumption of non-being

And make the ruling idea in it that

Of the non-perishable elixir of being.

They make weakness and humility

Their mark of distinction and

Consider that by empty vacuity

No injury can be committed,

While all things are preserved

In their inherent substantiality.
