第一章
隐藏的和谐


隐藏的和谐比看得见的和谐更好。


对立带来协调,
最美妙的和谐出自于不协调。


只有在变化中,事物才找到了静止。


人们不明白,那些和它自己有分歧的,
怎么又会和它自己相一致。


在弯曲的脊背中有和谐,
就像琴弓和琴弦的关系一样。


琴弓的名字是生命,但它的工作是死亡。

Heraclitus is called "that Riddler." He is not, he is true to life. Whatsoever it is, he simply reports it. He
has no doctrine about life, he is not a system-maker – he is simply a mirror. Whatsoever life is he
represents it. Your face changes, the mirror represents it; you are loving, the mirror represents it; next
moment you become hateful, the mirror represents it. The mirror is not riddling, it is true...

The hidden harmony
is better than the obvious.


Opposition brings concord.
Out of discord
comes the fairest harmony.


It is in changing
that things find repose.


People do not understand
how that which is at variance with itself,
agrees with itself.


There is a harmony in the bending back,
as in the case of the bow and lyre.


The name of the bow is life,
but its work is death.
