Do the heaven and earth then contain Thee, since Thou fillest them? or dost Thou fill them and yet overflow, since they do not contain Thee? And whither, when the heaven and the earth are filled, pourest Thou forth the remainder of Thyself? or hast Thou no need that aught contain Thee, who containest all things, since what Thou fillest Thou fillest by containing it? for the vessels which Thou fillest uphold Thee not, since, though they were broken, Thou wert not poured out. And when Thou art poured out on us, Thou art not cast down, but Thou up liftest us; Thou art not dissipated, but Thou gatherest us. 

既然你充塞天地，天地能包容你吗？是否你充塞天地后，还有不能被天地包容的部分？你充塞天地后，余下的部分安插在哪里？是否你充塞一切，而不须被任何东西所包容，因为你充塞一切，亦即是包容一切？一只瓶充满了你，并没有把你固定下来，瓶即使破碎，你并不散溢。你倾注在我们身内，但并不下坠，反而支撑我们；你并不涣散，反而收敛我们。

But Thou who fillest all things, fillest Thou them with Thy whole self? or, since all things cannot contain Thee wholly, do they contain part of Thee? and all at once the same part? or each its own part, the greater more, the smaller less? And is, then one part of Thee greater, another less? or, art Thou wholly every where, while nothing contains Thee wholly?

但你充塞一切，是否你全体充塞一切？是否一切不能包容你全体，仅能容纳你一部分，而一切又同时容纳你的同一部分？是否各自容纳一部分，大者多而小者少？这样你不是有大的部分和小的部分了？或是你不论在哪里，便整个在哪里，而别无一物能占有你全体？
