You'll stumble
upon it.

what about sincere compliments Infy?

" What is going to be diminished
Must first be allowed to inflate.

Whatever you want to weaken
Must first be convinced of its strength

What you want to overcome
You must first of all submit to -

You see, what is yielding and weak
Overcomes what is hard and strong:"

___Chapter 36
