  Came codes of love and honesty��
  Learning came�察�charity came��
  Hypocrisy took charge��
  When differences weakened family ties
  Came benevolent fathers and dutiful sons��
  And when lands were disrupted and misgoverned
  Came ministers commended as loyal。

  Rid of formalized wisdom and learning
  People would be a hundredfold happier��
  Rid of conventionalized duty and honor
  People would find their families dear��
  Rid of legalized profiteering
  People would have no thieves to fear。
  These methods of life have failed�察�all three��
  Here is the way�察�it seems to me��
  Set people free��
  As deep in their hearts they would like to be��
  From private greeds
  And wanton needs。

  20

  Leave off fine learning� �End the nuisance
  Of saying yes to this and perhaps to that��
  Distinctions with how little difference��
  Categorical this�察�categorical that��
  What slightest use are they��
  If one man leads�察�another must follow��
  How silly that is and how false��
  Yet conventional men lead an easy life
  With all their days feast days��
  A constant spring visit to the Tall Tower��
  While I am a simpleton�察�a do´nothing��
  Not big enough yet to raise a hand��
  Not grown enough to smile��
  A homeless�察�worthless waif。
  Men of the world have a surplus of goods��
  While I am left out�察�owning nothing。
  What a booby I must be
  Not to know my way round��
  What a fool��
  The average man is so crisp and so confident
  That I ought to be miserable
  Going on and on like the sea��
  Drifting nowhere。
  All these people are making their mark in the world��
  While I�察�pig´headed�察�awkward��
  Different from the rest��
  Am only a glorious infant still nursing at the breast。

  21

  The surest test if a man be sane
  Is if he accepts life whole�察�as it is��
  Without needing by measure or touch to understand
  The measureless untouchable source
  Of its images��
  The measureless untouchable source
  Of its substances��
  The source which�察�while it appears dark emptiness��
  Brims with a quick force
  Farthest away
  And yet nearest at hand
  From oldest time unto this day��
  Charging its images with origin��
  What more need I know of the origin
  Than this��

  22

  'Yield and you need not break��'
  Bent you can straighten��
  Emptied you can hold��
  Torn you can mend��
  And as want can reward you
  So wealth can bewilder。
  Aware of this�察�a wise man has the simple return
  Which other men seek��
  Without inflaming himself
  He is kindled��
  Without explaining himself
  Is explained��
  Without taking credit
  Is accredited��
  Laying no claim
  Is acclaimed
  And�察�because he does not compete��
  Finds peaceful competence。
  How true is the old saying��
  'Yield and you need not break'��
  How completely it comes home��

  23

  Nature does not have to insist��
  Can blow for only half a morning��
  Rain for only half a day��
  And what are these winds and these rains but natural��
  If nature does not have to insist��
  Why should man��
  It is natural too
  That whoever follows the way of life feels alive��
  That whoever uses it properly feels well used��
  Whereas he who loses the way of life feels lost��
  That whoever keeps to the way of life
  Feels at home��
  Whoever uses it properly
  Feels welcome��
  Whereas he who uses it improperly
  Feels improperly used��
  'Fail to honor people��
  They fail to honor you。

  24

  Standing tiptoe a man loses balance��
  Walking astride he has no pace��
  Kindling himself he fails to light��
  Acquitting himself he forfeits his hearers��
  Admiring himself he does so alone。
  Pride has never brought a man greatness
  But�察�according to the way of life��
  Brings the ills that make him unfit��
  Make him unclean in the eyes of his neighbor��
  And a sane man will have none of them。

  25

  Before creation a prescience existed��
  Self´contained�察�complete��
  Formless�察�voiceless�察�mateless��
  Changeless��
  Which yet pervaded itself
  With unending motherhood。
  Though there can be no name for it��
  I have called it 'the way of life。'
  Perhaps I should have called it 'the fullness of life��'
  Since fullness implies widening into space��
  Implies still further widening��
  Implies widening until the circle is whole。
  In this sense
  The way of life is fulfilled��
  Heaven is fulfilled��
  Earth fulfilled
  And a fit man also is fulfilled��
  These are the four amplitudes of the universe
  And a fit man is one of them��
  Man rounding the way of earth��
  Earth rounding the way of heaven��
  Heaven rounding the way of life
  Till the circle is full。

  26

  Gravity is the root of grace��
  The mainstay of all speed。
  A traveler of true means�察�whatever the day's pace��
  Remembers the provision´van
  And�察�however fine prospect be offered�察�is a man
  With a calm head。
  What lord of countless chariots would ride them in vain��
  Would make himself fool of the realm��
  With pace beyond rein��
  Speed beyond helm��

  27

  One may move so well that a foot´print never shows��
  Speak so well that the tongue never slips��
  Reckon so well that no counter is needed��
  Seal an entrance so tight�察�though using no lock��
  That it cannot be opened��
  Bind a hold so firm�察�though using no cord��
  That it cannot be untied。
  And these are traits not only of a sound man
  But of many a man thought to be unsound。
  A sound man is good at salvage��
  At seeing that nothing is lost。
  Having what is called insight��
  A good man�察�before he can help a bad man��
  Finds in himself the matter with the bad man。
  And whichever teacher
  Discounts the lesson
  Is as far off the road as the other��
  Whatever else he may know。
  That is the heart of it。

  28

  'One who has a man's wings
  And a woman's also
  Is in himself a womb of the world'
  And�察�being a womb of the world��
  Continuously�察�endlessly��
  Gives birth��
  One who�察�preferring light��
  Prefers darkness also
  Is in himself an image of the world
  And�察�being an image of the world��
  Is continuously�察�endlessly
  The dwelling of creation��
  One who is highest of men
  And humblest also
  Is in himself a valley of the world��
  And。 being a valley of the world��
  Continuously�察�endlessly
  Conducts the one source
  From which vessels may be usefully filled��
  Servants of the state are such vessels��
  To be filled from undiminishing supply。

  29

  Those who would take over the earth
  And shape it to their will
  Never�察�I notice�察�succeed。
  The earth is like a vessel so sacred
  That at the mere approach of the profane
  It is marred
  And when they reach out their fingers it is gone。
  For a time in the world some force themselves ahead
  And some are left behind��
  For a time in the world some make a great noise
  And some are held silent��
  For a time in the world some are puffed fat
  And some are kept hungry��
  For a time in the world some push aboard
  And some are tipped out��
  At no time in the world will a man who is sane
  Over´reach himself��
  Over´spend himself��
  Over´rate himself。

  30

  One who would guide a leader of men in the uses of life
  Will warn him against the use of arms for conquest。
  Weapons often turn upon the wielder��
  An army's harvest is a waste of thorns��
  Conscription of a multitude of men
  Drains the next year dry。
  A good general�察�daring to march�察�dares also to halt��
  Will never press his triumph beyond need。
  What he must do he does but not for glory��
  What he must do he does but not for show��
  What he must do he does but not for self��
  He has done it because it had to be done��
  Not from a hot head。
  Let life ripen and then fall��
  Force is not the way at all��
  Deny the way of life and you are dead。

  31

  Even the finest arms are an instrument of evil��
  A spread of plague��
  And the way for a vital man to go is not the way of a soldier。
  But in time of war men civilized in peace
  Turn from their higher to their lower nature。
  Arms are an instrument of evil��
  No measure for thoughtful men
  Until there fail all other choice
  But sad acceptance of it。
  Triumph is not beautiful。
  He who thinks triumph beautiful
  Is one with a will to kill��
  And one with a will to kill
  Shall never prevail upon the world。
  It is a good sign when man's higher nature comes forward��
  A bad sign when his lower nature comes forward��
  When retainers take charge
  And the master stays back
  As in the conduct of a funeral。
  The death of a multitude is cause for mourning��
  Conduct your triumph as a funeral。

  32

  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��
