太極懂勁解

自己懂勁,接及神明,為之文成,而後採戰。身中之陰,七十有二,無時不然。陽得其陰,水火既濟,乾坤交泰,性命葆真矣!
於人懂勁,視聽之際,遇而變化,自得曲誠之妙。形,著明於不勞,運動知覺也。功至此,可為攸往鹹宜,無須有心之運用耳。

楊班侯
"With Understanding Jin applied to oneself, one reaches enlightment, learning is accomplished and that it can be applied to battle. Hidden within the body, seventy are two, there is no time. Yang is suitable to Yin, water and fire will support each other, the universe will revolve in harmony, life is truly preserved.
With Understanding Jin applied to the opponent, at the moment one looks and listens he sees the opportunities and the changes, and subtly adapt to the curve and the straight. With this level of achievement one can move forward unified and suitably, without the need to put the mind to use."

Based on the translation by 楊俊敏 Yang Jwing Ming presented in the book 太極拳楊氏先哲秘要 Tai Chi Secrets of the Yang Style.
