If beauty is recognized a
Then ugliness arises a
If good is recognized b
Then bad arises b

Spirit and Flesh forms each other b
Difficult and easy produces each other b
Long and short measures each other b
High and low define each other b
Music and tone harmonize each other b
Front and back follow each other b

Therefore, the Master:
Achieves his purpose but without ado c
Gets his message across but without words  c
Holds all things together but without controlling c
Creates all but without possessing c
Serves all but without seeking glory c
Fulfills the Promise to all but without claiming c

Since He does not claim anything c
Nothing is ever lost c

a(1 Peter 3:3-5) b(Ecclesiastes 9:2-3, Job 30:26) c(Colossians 1:15-23)
