That the body came from corporeality
And will return in due time to the same,
Is what all mankind in common know,
And what those who are on their way
To know it need not zealously strive for.
This is what the multitudes of men
Are used to discuss together, but
Those whose knowledge is complete
Do not discuss it -- such talks shows
That their knowledge is not the whole.
Even the most clear-sighted of men
Do not meet with the heavens face to face --
It is better to be silent than to reason about them.
The heavens cannot be heard with the ears --
It is better to shut the ears than to try
And hear them. This is what is regarded
As the Great Attainment of life.
