人能常清靜天地悉皆歸
People capable constant quiet-fresh-bud calm-not-move
Heaven earth discern all return
(draft translation of 清靜經 Qing Jing Jing - Quiet Calm Weave)
If the 'quiet-fresh-bud' person's origin is 'muddy-polluted', then never can 清 imply 'clear' nor 'fresh'. Once a thing has been polluted, then forever the ingredient of pollution will influence the person's life.
Nature-based physics is amply clear: by what ingredients are put in, so will the ingredients create the outward product. Polluted ingredients make polluted bread, and no quantity of effort can remove the pollution.
All music is created from specific musical instruments, all of which rely upon specific harmonious tones. All emotions are created from specific scenarios, all of which rely upon specific existing emotions. Some positive emotions rely upon there first existing negative scenarios that create specific responses. The positive emotions would no longer exist if the history of the physics were to be removed. Regardless of the positive emotions being highly prized and valuable, still the underlying negativities remain.
A public domain translation: "If people can be constantly pure and still, then Heaven and Earth will certainly revert to them!"
