I have no parents

I make "unshadowed by thought" my strategy

I make the heavens and earth my parents.

I have no designs

I have no home

I make "seizing opportunity by the forelock" my design

I make awareness my home.

I have no miracles

I have no life or death

I make right-action my miracles.

I make the tides of breathing my life and death.

I have no principles

I have no divine power

I make adaptability to all circumstances my principles.

I make honesty my divine power.

I have no tactics

I have no means

I make emptiness and fullness my tactics.

I make understanding my means.

I have no talents

I have no magic secrets

I make ready wit my talent.

I make character my magic secret.

I have no friends

I have no body

I make my mind my friend.

I make endurance my body.

I have no enemy

I have no eyes

I make carelessness my enemy.

I make the flash of lightening my eyes

I have no armor

I have no ears

I make benevolence and righteousness my armor.

I make sensibility my ears.

I have no castle

I have no limbs

I make immovable-mind my castle.

I make promptness my limbs.

I have no sword

I have no strategy

I make absence of self my sword.
