Reason produces unity.
Unity produces duality.
Duality produces trinity.
Trinity produces ten thousand things.
The ten thousand things bear the negative principle,
and embrace the positive principle.
The immaterial vitality thereby makes harmonious.
The people's that which is detested,
exactly is orphans, widowers, unworthies.
Yet kings lords thereby take titles.
Therefore sometimes you lose it but gain.
Sometimes you gain it but loss.
Of others that which is taught
I also teach it.
The strong aggressive ones do not obtain their death.
I shall thereby make the doctrine's father.
