靈者,靈敏之謂。由輕虛而鬆沉,由鬆沉而粘黏。能粘黏,即能連隨;能連隨,而後方能靈敏。則可悟及不丟不頂矣。

"Agile means quick. From light and insubstantial one gets to be loose and sunken, and from loose and sunken to stick and adhere. If one can stick and adhere then one can connect and follow and from there become agile. With agility 'no losing and no resisting' can be understood."

By Wú Gōngzǎo (吳公藻), based on the translation by by Yang Jwing Ming (楊俊敏) presented in the book Tai Chi Secrets of the Wu Style (太極拳吳氏先哲秘要).
