Connection: 自分's sword doesn't cut—his heart does
Sever Animosity: His 心 cuts any intent/hostility on 相手
Irrational: 心 just fully counters 相手—just because
Unpredictable: 相手's attempts to harm 自分 simply fail
Truly Immortal: His 心 is eternal, etched in history
Even if 相手 destroys everything of 自分—mind, body, soul, ousia—the heart remains
The heart that cared for others,
the heart that cultivated a dying forest,
the heart that saved a nation from ruin,
& the heart that loved.
The Heart, it is immortal
Perhaps the fastest way to reach The Immortal Dao is through one's heart
Because the heart does not follow the Dao—rather, the Dao follows after it
