问道之精粗。
先生曰：「道无精粗，人之所见有精粗。如这一间房，人初进来，只见一个大规模如此；处久，便柱壁之类，一一看得明白；再久，如柱上有些文藻，细细都看出来。然只是一间房。」
有人问道有精粗之分。
先生说：「道没有精粗，人的见识有精粗。比如这一间房，人刚进来，只看见个大概格局；住久了，柱子墙壁之类便一一看得分明；再久些，柱子上的一些纹饰也细细都看出来了。然而始终只是一间房。」
Someone asked about the Way's fine and coarse.
The Master said: 'The Way has no fine or coarse; men's seeing has. Take this room: entering, one sees only its rough outline; dwelling long, pillars and walls grow distinct one by one; longer still, even the carved tracery on the pillars is made out in detail. Yet all the while it is one room.'
