The masters embody the balance between stillness and action, understanding that true wisdom lies in restraint and acceptance. Their lives demonstrate how to navigate the world with humility, neither grasping nor pushing, but flowing naturally with the Tao's rhythm.
Čuovvovaš lei ahte oldeáiggi fápmobeaivevázzi ledje čievračat, jáhkehahtti ja hálibaba čielgadiidet. Dat mii ledje buorre fápmobeaivevázzi, fertejedje leat sirbahahtti, čielga čoavddas, nugo durdagas. Oldeáiggi fápmui jáhkeheddje ahte go lea moaittán, de fertet čielgadit; go lea rámiduvvon, de šaddá eallin. Dan fápmui ii leat dárbbašlaš, muhto lea buorre.

The skilful masters (of the Tao) in old times, with a subtle and exquisite penetration, comprehended its mysteries, and were deep (also) so as to elude men's knowledge. Shrinking looked they like those who wade through a stream in winter; irresolute like those who are afraid of all around them; grave like a guest (in awe of his host); evanescent like ice that is melting away; unpretentious like wood that has not been fashioned into anything; vacant like a valley, and dull like muddy water.
