The Great Way has no gate.
Clear water has no taste.
The tongue has no bone.
In complete stillness, a stone girl is dancing.

I'm not sure, but I'll try:
The GreatWay is the path to spiritualism; clear water doesn't taste good or bad (a metaphor for a river near the path); when your on the path you have no body--no bones and while meditating on the spiritual path your body is completely still but even statues dance in the mind state on the path?

"The great way has no gate."
"Great way" means any human being's correct way, and it has no gate.
"Clear water has no taste"
When you start to see things clearly, everything is in a state of balance and is neutral. It has no leanings.
"Our tongue has no bone"
We are meant to say nice things. If you don't use your tongue well and use speech correctly, you will hurt others and yourself.
"In complete stillness, a stone girl is dancing."
And when you have achieve perfect harmony, you will see beauty in something as common as the stone.

It isn't really asking anything. Yes, water is tasteless and there aren't any bones in our tongues. I guess I'm missing something.
