47道德經:
不出戶知天下;不闚牖見天道。
其出彌遠,其知彌少。
是以聖人不行而知,不見而名,不為而成。
Dao De Jing:
(Surveying what is far-off)
Without going outside his door, one understands (all that takes place) under the sky; without looking out from his window, one sees the Dao of Heaven. The farther that one goes out (from himself), the less he knows.
Therefore the sages got their knowledge without travelling; gave their (right) names to things without seeing them; and accomplished their ends without any purpose of doing so.

47

Without going out the door, you can know Heaven below (the sacred body).
Without looking through a window, you can see Heaven’s Tao.
The more you go away from yourself, the less you perceive.

The sage does not go out, yet knows;
does not look, yet names;
does not do, yet finishes.
