至人无己,神人无功,圣人无名。
The perfect person has no self, the spiritual person has no achievement, the sage has no name.
—— 庄子
Source: 庄子·逍遥游(Zhuangzi)
Background
From Zhuangzi's "Free and Easy Wandering," expressing Zhuangzi's ideal personality realm.
Interpretation
Those who reach the highest realm forget themselves, divine beings do not take credit for their achievements, and sages do not seek fame. This embodies a spiritual realm that transcends worldliness and is selfless and desireless.
