That the best knowledge Is to have no knowledge Knows every single one, But no one puts this gist Into one's regular practice. What we call the Course Is not the true Course, And what we call the right Is really the wrong. In fact, We do not know it, but Nevertheless we've heard In a general way about it, And that's enough for us To be out of it. So be it! Hence it is said that The greatest politeness Is to show no special respect; The greatest justice Is to take no account of things; The greatest wisdom Is to lay no plans and schemes; The greatest love Is to make no demonstration Of attachment and affection; The greatest good faith Is to give no pledge of reverence.
