Wakalaŵa maso, simabveka m'mizi. Kuyana kwa ayo nkhusama na a ee, kukwana bwanji? Koyake kwaubweyu nkhusama nkhuwona, kukwana bwanji? Vinthu ivyo anthu akhwiranga, wose tachita mwene. Bwinuka bwine bwakuthupi, nkhusama kwamba kufika! Anthu onse akondwelanga ngati wakudya waukulu, ngati wakwimba pafupi. Kweni ine ndikhaŵa naŵi ngati mwanalume wakuŵa wambura kulira; ndikhaŵa naŵi ngati chikuni chakuŵa chichimira. Anthu onse akhali na vinthu vinandi, kweni ine ndiŵa ngati wakumalizga. Ndine wa mtima waŵalaŵala! Bwino bwanthupi! Anthu othandizga akugwilira, kweni ine ndikhaŵa ndiphaphati. Anthu oonekera akufuniska, kweni ine ndikhaŵa ndimbamba. Wokhotoka ngati Nyanja, wakuŵa ngati mpepo. Anthu onse akhali na cholinga, kweni ine ndine wakusama nkhusama. Wangi wakuŵa na kuona kwakwe wakusama na anthu onse, ndipo chinthu chake chikombe chikhalenge ukholongo wa mai wake.

When we renounce learning we have no troubles. The multitude of men look satisfied and pleased; as if enjoying a full banquet, as if mounted on a tower in spring. I alone seem listless and still, my desires having as yet given no indication of their presence. I am like an infant which has not yet smiled. I alone am different from other men, but I value the nursing-mother (the Tao).
