Don’t listen with your ears,
Listen with your mind.
No, don’t listen with your mind,
But listen with your spirit.
Listening stops with the ears,
The mind stops with recognition,
But the spirit is empty and waits
On all things.
The Way gathers in emptiness
Alone.
Emptiness is the fasting
Of the mind.

Zhuangzi (369-286)
