28.

Know the strength of the masculine

while abiding in feminine nurturing,

and be a servant of the world.

Be a servant of the way

of ancient, ever-lasting power,

never faltering, from innocence to knowledge,

conscious of the white

while maintaining the black.

Be the world’s exemplar,

never deviating, perpetually returning

to boundless consciousness.

One who understands splendor

while holding to humility

acts in accord with eternal power.

Return to simplicity.

The uncarved block is made into useful tools.

The sage employs these means.

Therefore the enduring master carves,

but never hacks.
