We look at it, and we do not see it, and we name it 'the Equable.' We listen to it, and we do not hear it, and we name it 'the Inaudible.' We try to grasp it, and do not get hold of it, and we name it 'the Subtle.' This is called the Form of the Formless, and the Semblance of the Invisible; this is called the Fleeting and Indeterminable.
