Water too clear has no fish
I think highly of myself as a proper gentleman
Yet clear or muddy
neither stops civilization's forward progress
At least modern history proves that
Every era people say rites and music have collapsed
yet real society keeps getting better, no?
What is a true sage
Able to cut off sources of worldly noise
Six senses purified, even marriage, love, and life's continuation set aside
Become Buddha on the spot—that's true self-cultivation
Why is just being ordinary
so hard for me?
