風恬浪靜中見人生之眞境 味淡聲希處識心體之本然(前 225)
True beauty can only be seen when the wind is gentle and the waves are calm. The primordial nature of body and soul can only be understood when the taste is like water and the sound is rare. (Book1 225)
To feel and enjoy something comes from stillness. So a simple life is worthwhile. This is because the stimulating feeling will surely disappear.
