Darkness covers refined and common words

Brightness distinguishes clear and murky phrases

The above two lines have been taken from the "Harmony of Difference and Equality" Zen Sutra (like poetry). The entire Sutra has about 30 paragraphs which at first read, or even the first few reads, seem puzzling. But when read over a long period of time (weeks or months), it's fascinating how the meanings start unraveling themselves little by little, and finally we are gifted with this beautifully interwoven, meaningful selection of words.

It stands to testify how every word in the Sutra embodies life.
