What is fragile is easily shattered
What is tiny is easily scattered。
Acting relates to the not yet present
Governing relates to the not yet confused。
A tree as big as the embrace of a man is born relating to very tinyshoots
A nine story tower is raised relating to a pile of earth
A journey of a thousand li begins in relating to where you stand。
Those who act are spoiling
Those who take hold of are losing
Appropriately it happens that sages are absent of action
So there is an absence of spoiling
Are absent of taking hold of
So there is an absence of losing。
The following of people of effort in the entire
Relates to perfecting part yet spoiling
Following care throughout as if just beginning
Comes an absence of spoiling effort。
Appropriately it happens that sages
Desire without desiring
Are without treasuring goods difficult to obtain
Learn without learning
Return to the place where the collective mind passes
And come to support the self…nature of the 10000things
Yet without venturing to act。
65
Those ancients who valued acting in tao
Did not come to be luminous
People attaining it came to be foolish。
The difficulty with governing people？
It happens that what is wise is abundant。
So if it happens that wisdom governs the nation
It is the enemy of the nation
If it does not happen that wisdom governs the nation
It is the good luck of the nation
Those who know both these things
Also investigate the patterns of entireness
To know and investigate patterns
Is appropriately called insightful ideal。
Insightful ideal goes with the penetrating； with the far…reaching
With it things go with turning back
And will reach the great alignment。
66
In the place of rivers and seas
The ability to act as that which is the king ofone hundred valleys happens
It happens they value being low
So the ability to act as the king of one hundredvalleys happens。
Appropriately it happens that
Desire to be above people seeds the occurrence ofwords being low
Desire to precede people seeds the occurrence ofthe body following
Appropriately it happens that sages
Dwell above yet people lack heaviness
Dwell in front yet people are without being heldback
Appropriately it happens
That the world joyfully supports them yet withouttiring。
It happens they lack contention
So in the world noone is able to be contending with them。
67
In the world each says
My tao is great and seems to lack resemblance
In the end only great therefore seems to lack resemblance。
It looks like resemblance goes with the long…lasting
With what is tiny as well。
In the end I possess three principles I am obtaining yet defending
One； say compassion
Two； say thrift
Three say lack of venturing to act to precede theworld。
Compassion； so be able to be brave
Thrift； so be able to expand
Lack venturing to act to precede the world
So be able to perfect tools of growth。
Right now； abandon compassion just to be brave
Abandon thrift just to expand
Abandon being behind just to precede
Death goes with these。
In the end with compassion
A war happens and next comes conquering
Keeping to it happens and next comes solidity。
The heavens attain helping
It happens that compassion is defending。
68
Those who value acting as sergeants lack ferocity
Those who value war lack anger
Those who value conquering lack engagement
Those who value using men are acting low。
Appropriately called ideal of lacking being contending
Appropriately called strength to be using men
Appropriately called distributing the ancient limit of the heavens。
69
Strategists possess words
I am without venturing to act as lord yet act asguest
Without venturing to enter an inch yet fall backa foot。
Appropriately called
Going absent of going
Grabbing absent of an arm
Throwing absent of opposition
Taking hold of absent of an enemy。
No misfortune is greater than relating to light opposition
Light opposition severs and destroys my principles。
So when opposing strategies escalate each other
Conquering goes with those who mourn。
70
My words
Are very easy to know
Are very easy to practice。
In the world
Noone is able to know
Noone is able to practice。
Words possess an ancestor
Efforts possess a sovereign。
In the end only with absence of knowledge
Appropriate lack of self…knowledge happens
Knowledge of that which is the self is rare
And then that which is the self is treasured。
Appropriately it happens that sages have
A covering of coarse cloth
A bosom of jade。
71
Knowing； lack of knowing
Better； lack of knowing
Knowing； a disease。
In the end only when the disease is sick
Appropriate lack of the disease happens。
Sages lack the disease
It happens the disease was sick。
Appropriately lack of the disease happens。
72
People lack respect for impressive strength
And then greatly impressive strength is reached。
An absence of improper familiarity for what is their place of residence
An absence of detesting what is their place of living
In the end only without detesting
Appropriate lack of detesting happens。
Appropriately it happens that sages
Know themselves without displaying themselves
Are fond of themselves without treasuring themselves。
So detach from that； grab this。
73
Bravery in relation to venturing； next comes being killed
Bravery in relation to lack of venturing； next comes being mobile
Each of these two benefits some； harms some。
The place of the heaves dislikes
Who knows why it is so？
Appropriately it happens that sages see it just as difficult。
The tao of the heavens
Without contending yet values conquering
Without words yet values responding
Without summoning yet attracts to itself
Is easy…natured yet values a place for everything。
The net of the heavens is vast； expansive
A coarse mesh yet without loss。
74
When people lack respect for death
How does it happen that death looks threatening？
Suppose people entirely respect death
Yet there are those who act strange。
I may obtain hold of them yet who would venture to be killing them？
Entireness possesses that which is the master killer； killing。
In the end taking the place
Of that which is the master killer； killing
Is appropriately called
Taking the place of the great carpenter； carving。
In the end take the place of the great carpenter； carving
It is rarely true that a lack of wounding the hand goes with this。
75
The hunger of people
It happens that those above feed by taxing abundantly
Approp
