Daoism -> Zhuangzi -> Miscellaneous Chapters -> Xu Wu-gui -> 14.4

Therefore, the feet of man on the earth tread but on a small space,
but going on to where he has not trod before, he traverses a great distance easily;
so his knowledge is but small,
but going on to what he does not already know, he comes to know what is meant by Heaven.
He knows it as The Great Unity;
The Great Mystery;
The Great Illuminator;
The Great Framer;
The Great Boundlessness;
The Great Truth;
The Great Determiner.
This makes his knowledge complete.
As The Great Unity, he comprehends it;
as The Great Mystery, he unfolds it;
as the Great Illuminator, he contemplates it;
as the Great Framer, it is to him the Cause of all;
as the Great Boundlessness, all is to him its embodiment;
as The Great Truth, he examines it;
as The Great Determiner, he holds it fast.
