“I see，”said Yen Hui，“What was standing in my way was my own self-awareness.If I can begin this fasting of the heart，self-awareness will vanish.Then I will be free from limitation and preoccupation！Is that what you mean？” [50]
翟理斯的译文：
“You hear not with the ears，but with the mind；not with the mind，but with your soul.But let hearing stop with the ears.Let the working of the mind stop with itself.Then the soul will be a negative existence，passively responsive to externals.In such a negative existence，only Tao can abide.And that negative state is the fasting of the heart.”
