    From Chen Weiming, Translation by Paul Brennan

    老子曰常無欲以觀其妙。常有欲以觀其徼。與之黏隨。觀其化之妙。忽然機發。是謂觀其徼。

    Laozi said: “Dwelling with nothingness, you will see mystery. Dwelling with somethingness, you will see details.” [Daodejing, chapter 1]
    In sticking to and moving with the opponent, you will see the subtlety of adaptation. In suddenly issuing when the opportunity appears, you will see details. [i.e. When defending, watch generally. When attacking, focus specifically.]
