📜 Bonisa izaguqulelo (Wang Bi · Legge · AI Modern)
Wang Bi (226–249 CE)
致虚，物之极也。守静，物之真正也。动作生长者，虚而不屈。归根则静，故曰静。静则复命，故曰复命也。复命则得性命之常，故曰常也。
James Legge (1891)
The (state of) vacancy should be brought to the utmost degree, and that of stillness guarded with unwearying vigour. All things alike go through their processes of activity, and (then) we see them return (to their original state).
