Good walking leaves no tracks
Good talking contains no flaws
Good counting counts no beads
Good closing locks no locks
And yet it can’t be opened
Good tying ties no knots
And yet it can’t be undone
Sages are good at saving others
Therefore they abandon no one
Nor anything of use
This is called cloaking the light
Thus the good instruct the bad
And the bad learn from the good
Not honouring their teachers
Or cherishing their students
The wise alone are perfectly blind
This is called peering into the distance
