Existence is infinite�察�not to be defined��
And�察�though it seem but a bit of wood in your hand�察�to carve as you please��
It is not to be lightly played with and laid down。
When rulers adhered to the way of life��
They were upheld by natural loyalty��
Heaven and earth were joined and made fertile��
Life was a freshness of rain��
Subject to none��
Free to all。
But men of culture came�察�with their grades and their distinctions��
And as soon as such differences had been devised
No one knew where to end them��
Though the one who does know the end of all such differences
Is the sound man��
Existence
Might be likened to the course
Of many rivers reaching the one sea。
33
Knowledge studies others��
Wisdom is self´known��
Muscle masters brothers��
Self´mastery is bone��
Content need never borrow��
Ambition wanders blind��
Vitality cleaves to the marrow
Leaving death behind。
34
Bountiful life�察�letting anyone attend��
Making no distinction between left or right。
Feeding everyone�察�refusing no one��
Has not provided this bounty to show how much it owns��
Has not fed and clad its guests with any thought of claim��
And�察�because it lacks the twist
Of mind or body in what it has done��
The guile of head or hands��
Is not always respected by a guest。
Others appreciate welcome from the perfect host
Who�察�barely appearing to exist��
Exists the most。
35
If the sign of life is in your face
He who responds to it
Will feel secure and fit
As when�察�in a friendly place��
Sure of hearty care��
A traveler gladly waits。
Though it may not taste like food
And he may not see the fare
Or hear a sound of plates��
How endless it is and how good��
36
He who feels punctured
Must once have been a bubble��
He who feels unarmed
Must have carried arms��
He who feels belittled
Must have been consequential��
He who feel5 deprived
Must have had privilege��
Whereas a man with insight
Knows that to keep under is to endure。
What happens to a fish pulled out of a pond��
Or to an implement of state pulled out of a scabbard��
Unseen�察�they survive。
37
The way to use life is to do nothing through acting��
The way to use life is to do everything through being。
When a leader knows this��
His land naturally goes straight。
And the world's passion to stray from straightness
Is checked at the core
By the simple unnamable cleanness
Through which men cease from coveting��
And to a land where men cease from coveting
Peace comes of course。
38
A man of sure fitness�察�without making a point of his fitness��
Stays fit��
A man of unsure fitness�察�assuming an appearance of fitness��
Becomes unfit。
The man of sure fitness never makes an act of it
Nor considers what it may profit him��
The man of unsure fitness makes an act of it
And considers what it may profit him。
However a man with a kind heart proceed��
He forgets what it may profit him��
However a man with a just mind proceed��
He remembers what it may profit him��
However a man of conventional conduct proceed�察�if he be not complied with
Out goes his fist to enforce compliance。
Here is what happens��
Losing the way of life�察�men rely first on their fitness��
Losing fitness�察�they turn to kindness��
Losing kindness�察�they turn to justness��
Losing justness�察�they turn to convention。
Conventions are fealty and honesty gone to waste��
They are the entrance of disorder。
False teachers of life use flowery words
And start nonsense。
The man of stamina stays with the root
Below the tapering��
Stays with the fruit
Beyond the flowering��
He has his no and he has his yes。
39
The wholeness of life has�察�from of old�察�been made manifest in its parts��
Clarity has been made manifest in heaven��
Firmness in earth��
Purity in the spirit��
In the valley conception��
In the river procreation��
And so in a leader ate the people made manifest
For wholeness of use。
But for clarity heaven would be veiled��
But for firmness earth would have crumbled��
But for purity spirit would have fumbled��
But for conception the valley would have failed��
But for procreation the river have run dry��
So�察�save for the people�察�a leader shall die��
Always the low carry the high
On a root for growing by。
What can stand lofty with no low foundation��
No wonder leaders of a land profess
Their stature and their station
To be servitude and lowliness��
If rim and spoke and hub were not��
Where would be the chariot��
Who will prefer the jingle of jade pendants if
He once has heard stone growing in a cliff��
40
Life on its way returns into a mist��
Its quickness is its quietness again��
Existence of this world of things and men
Renews their never needing to exist。
41
Men of stamina�察�knowing the way of life��
Steadily keep to it��
Unstable men�察�knowing the way of life��
Keep to it or not according to occasion��
Stupid men�察�knowing the way of life
And having once laughed at it�察�laugh again the louder。
If you need to be sure which way is right�察�you can tell by their laughing at it。
They fling the old charges��
'A wick without oil��'
'For every step forward a step or two back。'
To such laughers a level road looks steep��
Top seems bottom��
'White appears black��
'Enough is a lack��'
Endurance is a weakness��
Simplicity a faded flower。
But eternity is his who goes straight round the circle��
Foundation is his who can feel beyond touch��
Harmony is his who can hear beyond sound��
Pattern is his who can see beyond shape��
Life is his who can tell beyond words
Fulfillment of the unfulfilled。
42
Life�察�when it came to be��
Bore one�察�then two�察�then three
Elements of things��
And thus the three began
´Heaven and earth and man´
To balance happenings��
Cool night behind�察�warm day ahead��
For the living�察�for the dead。
Though a commoner be loth to say
That he is only common clay��
Kings and princes often state
How humbly they are leading��
Because in true succeeding
High and low correlate。
It is an ancient thought��
Which many men have taught��
That he who over´reaches
And tries to live by force
Shall die thereby of course��
And is what my own heart teaches。
43
As the soft yield of water cleaves obstinate stone��
So to yield with life solves the insoluble��
To yield�察�I have learned�察�is to come back again。
But this unworded lesson��
This easy example��
Is lost upon men。
44
Which means more to you��
You or your renown��
Which brings more to you��
You or what you own��
And which would cost you more
If it were gone��
The niggard pays��
The miser loses。
The least ashamed of men
Goes back if he chooses��
He knows both ways��
He starts again。
45
A man's work�察�however finished it seem��
Continues as long as he live��
A man�察�however perfect he seem��
Is needed as long as he live��
As long as truth appears falsity��
The seer a fool��
The prophet a dumb lout��
If you want to keep warm keep stirring about��
Keep still if you want to keep cool��
And in all the world one day no doubt
Your way shall be the rule。
46
In a land where the way of life is understood
Race´horses are led back to serve the field��
In a land where the way of life is not understood
War´horses are bred on the autumn yield。
Owning is the entanglement��
Wanting is the bewilderment��
Taking is the presentiment��
Only he who contains content
Remains content。
47
There is no need to run outside
For better seeing��
Nor to peer from a window。 Rather abide
At the center of your being��
For the more you leave it�察�the less you learn。
Search your heart and see
If he is wise who takes each turn��
The way to do is to be。
48
A man anxious for knowledge adds more to himself every minute��
A man acquiring life loses himself in it��
Has less and less to bear in mind��
Less and less to do��
Because life�察�he finds�察�is well inclined��
Including himself too。
Often a man sways the world like a wind
But not by deed��
And if there appear to you to be need
Of motion to sway it�察�it has left you behind。
49
A sound man's heart is not shut within itself
But is open to other people's hearts��
I find good people good��
And I find bad people good
If l am good enough��
I trust men of their word��
And I trust liars
If I am true enough��
I feel the heart´heats of others
Above my own
If I am enough of a father��
Enough
