| Asking About the Dao:...: |
The sage's words are like water and fire. Someone asked about water and fire. Yangzi said: As for water, the more you measure it, the deeper it gets. The more you trace it to its source, the broader it becomes. As for fire, the more you use it, the brighter it gets. The more you build it up, the more intense it becomes. |
