All begins
Beginning is the mother of the myriad things

Know the Mother
Know the children
Return to Mother
Dissolve into her deathlessness

Silence desires
Mind the senses
Live with ease

Nurture desires
Bend to the senses
Live without salvation

Seeing small is insight
Being soft is strength
Its light is enlightenment

Avoid peril
Follow the eternal
