Men of affairs are proud of their cunning and skills,

But in the TAO they still have much to learn.

They are proud of their exploitations,
But they do not know what happens to the body.

Why do they not learn from the Master of Dark Truth,
Who saw the whole world in a little jade bottle?
Whose bright soul was free of Earth and Heaven,
For riding on Change he entered into Freedom.
