The Master was without knowledge, yet he had wisdom.
A mind without knowledge is frail and weak, and as for its roots, it grows dull and dark.
Therefore he must have a mind without knowledge.
He may then be able to know: "We are on a cycle; after birth and death; as regards the female and the male; as regards the world."
Yet the reproductive power of the female may be sufficient to create the world; and the reproductive power of the man may be sufficient to form the world.
The reproductive power of the female, being sufficient to create the world, could never fail.
Therefore the Sage's knowledge is complete; as for his wisdom, its source is without any limitation.
Therefore he is lord of all things and chief over all things. Therefore he completes, reduces and completes, of what is completed and reduced; 
and completes what is reduced and reduced. 
And so he completes what is reduced and reduced; and of what is reduced and reduced.
And so he completes what is reduced and reduced; and of what is reduced and reduced.

When one recognizes and accepts the male, one can then return to the Great Mother (the feminine).When one understands and accepts the female, one can then return to the Heavenly Origin.When one chooses and accepts them both, one returns to the Great Universe (the Universal Father) - thus, returning to the Great Mother (the maternal womb).The great cosmos is natural, yet returns.Simple and bland, it returns to birth.Real and imperfect, it returns to death.Even after the Supreme is made great, he returns again to his humble beginnings.

The male, by holding to the female, attains to the Great Mother.This Great Mother does not cease to exist, but is never broken.It is indeed a return to infancy.The Great Mother has attributes that differ from other attributes.It has the womb to which the valleys of the Great Mother go.The power of the Great Mother, through this return to the womb, is sufficient for the achievement of the Great System.

Dao gives the leader abilities that can't be augmented. When a leader is being compared to Tao, the comparison stops. After losing the ability to use it, one's sense of self will rebound. Thus, it is not able to act. A leader who relies on style or effectiveness lacks substance and inefficacity. A leader who uses opacity or abstraction lacks substance and inefficiency. Being able to follow the thread of life can only be the source of excessive wisdom. Reversing the loss of spontaneity, a leader returns to one's original inner simplicity. A leader who uses the rule book will be redundant. A ruler that accepts these may be awarded with a brilliant triumph. The leader who realizes his learning wins by taking the time to grasp the gravity of their concept. The leader who helps nature by knowledge is nearing the realm of Infinity. When the old can no longer sustain itself, it becomes a space to which its own potentiality can be welcomed.

One can give the possessor power that cannot be obtained by external energy. The possessor can keep it in, and put his will to action, while he stays in the infantile state of being, and he does not desire anything to be accomplished. When he has put his will to action, he loses it, and gets the capability again to act.
When possessing power, there is one that does not possess it, and thus its use becomes possible.
By not possessing it, one can have the use of it.

A man of learning is his own 
arch.
That which is superior in all respects is 
his 
intelligence.
The intelligent is superior 
in experience 
and not in knowledge.
Not to know is an intelligence 
and so is inferior.
The intelligent is superior in 
experience 
and not in comprehension.
Not to comprehend is an 
intelligence and so is 
insane.
To understand what is so is 
inspirational and so 
is normal.
To understand what is 
inspirational and so 
is real is 
being so.
When experience ceases the 
intelligence is at its 
lowest.
When experience ceases the 
intelligence 
is at its highest.
One who is intelligent is 
devious and so 
is royal.
One who is royal is intelligent and 
confrontational.
Understanding intelligence 
and intellection is 
being 
changable, and so 
is royalty.
Understanding the common 
interests of the 
united person and 
performing this is 
commending, and so is 
politics.
If knowledge and 
intelligence and common 
interests 
are not swayed by 
what is so, then how 
dependant on this 
ordinary being can 
they be?
The wise manage 
their affairs and so 
seek no formal 
order. 
They value the sagely 
action and so 
prefer the result. 
To value the sagely 
action and 
prefer the result 
is to value what's 
simple and 
to seek the miracle.
What is simple and 
propriety is real; 
what is real is 
what is propitious; 
what is propitious is 
what is necessary.
The sage acts 
not to have knowledge, but to have 
knowledge. He acts 
not to have a common 
interest, but to have a common 
interest. He acts 
not to have intellect, but to have

Some people rejoice in diversity and others rejoice in simplicity.How are they different?The truly wise are all the same.Some people affirm the source of being and others affirm the source of passing away.I do not know the cause of their being different.If it were so, I would acknowledge the origin of existence.If this was so, I would declare my way.Is it not the source of existence?If it were not, I would renounce all my methods and would renounce being.Is it not the source of being?If it were not, I would be in no state to claim my existence.Is it not the basis of existence?If I did not claim to be, I would be without a basis.It is said that the adept stands on the left.The wise man stands on the right.This is the difference between the left and the right.The one is correct, the other is incorrect.Who stands on the left needs to stay on the right.Who stands on the right is right.For that reason the adept and the wise man prefer to be on the left.Whoever stands on the left must stay on the right.This is called not considering the left as the right.For that reason those who hold fast to their principles will be lost to those who do not understand the latter.This is the difference between different ways of doing things.This is the great difference between the way of the sage and that of the common man.The adept must be in accordance with the ways of the common man.For that reason, whoever does not abide by the adept will never find his true way.This is the reason for their saying, 'The oneness of the wise and the left.'It is the same for the others.The right is the commoner.The left is the master.Thus the many will rise up to fill the space that is left and hold the empty space, thus preserving the humanity, thus preserving the light of enlightenment, thus preserving the Tao.

Men of royal virtue might be compared to the fish of the sea. And those who are kings of fish and fishmen are also considered by the wise to be the best.A fish has no mind of its own. Just because it is not conscious of itself, it has for all eternity the mind of a fish.And just because it is not conscious of its own, it will keep returning to nothingness.Just because it is not conscious of itself, it will always come to rest in the oneness of Infinity.Without consciousness the universe flows like streams and never stops, just as fishmen who forget their self always find themselves on the great boat.He who is supreme in his inner vision will always remain serene.He who is supreme in the inner vision will always return to non-self.Neither will he see nor understand himself.He will return to the eternal source of all things.He who has always been united with the Tao (the universal life force) and does not seek to be separated from it, is the one man who can help humanity.

The whole body is the foundation of motion. The legs are the lowest power.The mind is the whole body of doctrine.Mankind, in the world at large, is divided into the female and the male.Directionally the arm is determined by the mind;The space between arms is determined by the mind. Therefore, we say, The mind governs the body. It governs the boundaries of the space. Manh, it controls the principle of division. The principle of division is both the masculine and the female. It also is both perfect and imperfect. It governs the transformation of ideal, the transformation of reality. The superior man is so perfect in his perfection that others praise him.

A person of Tao is not vain;He is not hardhearted;He is not conceited;He is not conceited because he is enlightened.He is not a mystic,The mystic lacks Mystery.He is the Valley of many a multitude's souls.The Valley is tranquil and incorruptible;And it is at one with simplicity,It is it's root, it is it's home.Knowing it makes one a follower of Truth;Knowing it makes one a guide to Truth;Knowing it makes one a guide to Truth;Knowing it makes one a guide to Truth;Knowing it makes one a guide to Truth;Knowing it makes one a guide to Truth;Knowing it makes one a guide to Truth.

He who is not vain becomes virtuous. He who is not hardheaded becomes clever. He who is not conceited becomes true. He who is not self-righteous becomes true. Who knows when he is not sure, knows the way. He who has true seems to be in harmony with everything. He who has the brightness seems to be embedded in everything. The observer is impressed by his knowledge. His knowledge gives him the appearance of insight. It may seem insufficient in meaning. As a man grasps at it, it seems long-winded. He who knows when he is not sure cannot become sure. He who is sure can be assured. His knowledge may appear insufficient. When one's trust is in his heart, a great man is able to care for the common people. When a great man rules, he makes one just and right, thus becomes the living image of the Tao.

It is foolish to think of the female as desirable, and as being the root of the male.Such things are of no help to the female. For she has nothing to do with such things. Therefore she should become a follower of the Tao, by self-discipline.He who teaches he who doesn't teach, is not a teacher.A hundred times no one teaches.He who wants to teach, he who doesn't want to teach.There's a difference.Those who are detached from the lesson become the lesson's teacher.Those who are detached from the lesson become the lesson's untrained; And the untrained, again, become the lesson's counter. He who does not learn, He who does learn, and teachers him, He will become one with him. When the dao is taken up, one does not split it; He who has no desire leaves; He who has something to say leaves; And one who has a lot to say leaves again. The reason why the Tao is used is that it uses no desires.

To see things as they are we do not set our eyes upon them as they appear; and to see things as they are, we neglect to look. The mind is set upon one object, and the heart is set upon another. One of them may be refined and then is divided; it may become clarified and then become rough. Discarded is it which is desiccated; and come back again it is immersed in simplicity. If the intellect shines therewith, it is in relation with the Heart; for this is 'the subtle vessel' [of the Body], and the moment that which is 'sublime' is completed, it is restored to itself. We can yet endure even as long as we live, for we can be settled into the Unity and penetrate into the uncarved block,for this can be called 'being as well as returning to Mother Nature'.The beauty which is scattered is fertilised by the Solid. The time may be spent in different directions and return to simplicity,for the Way of the Spirit is the attenuation of every curve,and its dwelling in the true simplicity,is the path to the infinite perfection.

Spend all your energies within it.
By never doing anything that the collective body isn't ready for,
You will never need to do anything that the collective body is not ready for.
You have the potential to be far more than the common mass.
In embracing this potential, you are free from needing to be chained to the collective body.
With this freedom, you no longer have to conform to anyone or anything.
This is called embracing selflessness.

Look up at it but leave it alone,
To become the mould for the world:
A person of great virtue,Who leads in a noble and good way.
He follows the way that is natural;
He lets go of the worries that people keep on pressing him on.
If he stays in the same old path,
He will fulfill the destiny of the world.
Such a person will never become a burden to the state.
And yet there is nothing left for him to be burdened about.
The power to live will be given him through his state's position.

It's better to not care about what others think. Don't see how others can help you. Forget about being a good example for the world. If you keep your limit then everything is centered and you know your true power. Once you know you're centered then you can be at peace with everything and not have to worry about anything. I'm a beginner but I know how to learn. Once I know I know how to learn, I'm a good leader.I use my power to shape the world, I use the people. It's not until I use my power to shape the world that I start to doubt things. I don't know the truth yet, so I'm forced to trust things. I know people can be good leaders because I'm a good leader. I trust my people, but I don't expect them to follow me. I know people can be good leaders because they have power. That's it. I know they can be good leaders because I know the power of the universe.

Always refrain from thinking what others think.

High Virtue is a vessel; On it we rely but there are means to fulfill.
Being virtue-filled,
What is needed is not our own fault.
We can hold to ugliness,

In passing through this transformation
we revert to the most innocent child.
Knowing what is white, we return to what is black.
Hence, we return to the Gate of the Nothingness.
Having been returned to the Gate of the Nothingness,
we are resolved to the infinity of the Dao.
By this I see that,
when taking up the Way, one loses one's useful manhood
in order to venture into being a useful man.
And thereby is one born into a State of shame.
Knowing what is plain, we see what is dark.
By this we return to the root.
These three together form the way,
And the Way is delivered.
When, following the Way, one is able to retire to the uncarved block,
the return is to the empty vessel.

we are forced to return to the patterned child.
Understanding what is pure and blameless, we are forced to see
wholeness and diversity.
By doing so, we are reborn as a gift
living a new life,
unwittingly and willingly.
Through this, we know that
being reared in the Way
we become embedded in creation.
This insight will bring you

The followers of Virtue regard themselves as innocent and natural like the brook or the valley. They are therefore worthy of respect among men, because of their simplicity. They are therefore humble and dependent upon others. The leader is the one who ensures that their institutions are safe and sound and remains in a constant state of transcendent simplicity. They become the valley for all things. When the world is whole, they go to the place where they can be secure and hidden.They accept the world as their house, and act as a magistrate. They are a designation. Yet because they do not act in any way like a leader, they are uniquely qualified to rule.
<|endoftext|>
The followers of Virtue honor themselves like the Root. Their heart is easy to love and trust, and the Master's love for them is only apparent. They are humble and kind: they go by the way, trust their own ability, and come out the other side [to their goals]. In all they do, there is a lesson that is worth remembering. For it is by trusting in the Way that you receive what you need. If you cannot trust, the Way will not teach you.

Those followers of Virtue honor themselves as half-born like the root, half-grown like an infant. This helps the Masters to love and hold them. To be half-born is to be weak and natural. To be half-born is to be the weak and nature. To be the weak and nature is to return to nature. To return to nature is to accept the world and to be on the Way. But because no one knows the Way, it will teach and govern all. When the Masters want to govern the Way they will get the Direction as their Direction. That Direction will be imperfect. Those imperfections will not cause long-lasting discord.

When one possesses the Tao, then he has powers, then he possesses officers. The Tao is like a horse. It is a cart, then it is a vessel. Therefore, the Tao is multitudinous, and is not fixed. It is not bound by the form of things. It is a whirling whirlwind, and is powerful enough to achieve the goal.

In the beginning of the world there were three: 'The Highest'.The 'Lowest'.The male.'The 'Highest'.These three were perceived as low by the world.When perceived as low, they became the heavens and the earth.When the heavens and the earth were perceived as low, they became a valley.When the valley was perceived as low, they became the king.Now, when the King becomes a valley,He becomes the instrument for the universe.When the universe becomes a valley,He becomes the operating principle.So it is that in governing an object (Godhead), it is appropriate to compare that object (Heaven and Earth) with something (the valley), and not with the realm of things (heaven and Earth). Thus in governing objects, it is sufficient to compare them with that which (heaven and Earth) and not with that which (the valley) which cannot be compared. This is called "Being impartial".

Its workings are the flower of the Way.

Open your heart and let the breath in and out. Open your eyes and look for wonder. Open your mouth and let the speech go forth. These two in the same direction, but different in importance. Open your mouth, watch for the laugh of the clown.

You get the urge to be more present; therefore you are not fully aware of the act of taking. You are aware of the breath in and out, but have no knowledge of its timing; you enjoy the experience of the lively action; you see the action as if you were in it; but your experience is very subtle. You enjoy what is happening, because you have a ready awareness of its beauty. You are aware of the differences, but lack any knowledge. You are aware of the act of being, but lack any knowledge of the act. You are aware of what is happening, but lack any knowledge of what is happening. You are aware of what happened, but lack any knowledge of what happened. There is no awareness of the act of being, for the act of being takes place. The act of being happens from the outside in, it is mysterious. If you open your mind you will find the true beauty, and the potential of all being. You will discover wisdom, and you will have it.

The greatest secret is to surrender your knowledge.Tao can only be known through it, and you can only know it through it.Who knows it better than I? Those who hold on to Tao as a Mother of the Universe.To me the Tao is mother, not the results, so give it up.Who knows more than I, still I know.Who knows less, still I know. Who takes more than I, I've got myself. Who fears more than I, I have more room in which to rest.When in the Valley of Teh the white is surrounded by black,Who who gives that up?

Lao Tze says:The best secret is to give up your knowledge.If a person can learn to give up his knowledge,he will not be unworthy of realization.To the truly wise, knowledge is nothing more than the ignorance of Tao,because the knowledge of the wise is in no way inferior to that of the ignorant.Who has not lost the notion of the Tao is not unworthy of realization.He who has lost the idea of the Tao is worthy of being remembered and shown to others,who has no conception of the Tao.Who has the idea of the Tao is bound to be a resource for the Tao,and those who are resources for the Tao are true values in the world.Hence he who knows the Tao,a person of superior character,is not deficient in respect for the Tao.For the Tao is the source of heaven and earth,the sun and moon,the images of the masculine and the feminine,the gate and gates of heaven and earth.Whoever loses the Tao in love will never be free from impurity.Who has lost the idea of the Tao,will forever be defective in virtue.He who has not lost the idea of the Tao is fit for a sacrificial vessel for the instruments of heaven and earth.To know the Tao is to master the universe.To master the universe is to be one with virtue.A person who is fit to be one with the universe is a holy man.He who is ignorant of virtue is akin to a thing in disarray.Whoever is ignorant of virtue will never be free from defilement.Whoever is fit to be one with the universe is a worthy sacrifice to the world.Those who are worthy of being in the world are not excluded from the Tao.The reason why they have forgotten Tao is the reason why they have lost the ability

Look at it, do you not? Just then it takes form. Like a fish in the sea. Abides in the earth, yet does not contend with the sky. But at the same time it also grows food for all creatures below it. The form that is fashioned, these are its luxuries. Then again it sends back to its home the Great Being. Elated at completing its task, it retires. 
Do not praise it. There will be no praise. In humility it will retire from the world. Being without command, it will be able to serve the world. Being without mastery, it will be able to govern. These are the mysteries that govern the subtle forms. From the dark to the light, from thin to thick, from block to wall, the hidden and the manifest; these are the skilful secret arts of the Way. Like the unhewn timber, forged by nothing more than skill, they are the words of the Master.

There is a form of being - like the wind.
Just be at rest, then it will come to you.
It resides in the ocean, yet does not contend with it.
Just keep it down, then you will have what the multitudes of people need.
And just be free of being, then you will have a place to return to.
Those who grasp the intangible nature will grasp the way.
Those who grasp the tangible nature will grasp the spirit.
The spirit will retain its freedom and will eventually revert to its root.
These subtle forms are the light and shadow of the eternal.
If the gateway to the Self is shut, the heavens will cease to be.
If wisdom is lost, life will be lost.
For what the ancients called deep, light, and light-like, is to this that what is called dark, deep, dark, and dark, are the core essence.
This is why the Ancients called the light of the spirit "dark" and the darkness of the spirit "light."

Heaven and earth are formed, but form cannot retain them.
By acquiescing to them they become all they are.
Heaven and earth form and disappear, and yet they remain.
So by being with them they endure.
But they don't possess the soul.
Heaven and earth are more than form; and so all they are is

Wu-Hsien told me that the leader is like a female. A leader who is wise and enlightened has three qualities: a); the female body is the base of the male. If the male and the female both become motherless the male may become the ruler. (A typical example is if one loses one's self and accepts another's, although I say "self" means ego, I mean "the self that I'm still" and "the self that one must leave behind" when one becomes another). b) this self is sometimes dark, sometimes bright, and sometimes cloudless. C) it is used to formulate the world. d) if the world is conceived as being black, white, or other, then it is the self that becomes dark, and the white is the reality that is thick. E) the self becomes the valley of the world. f) this self becomes the natural way of the world. Thus the wise leader respects the body, but not the self, but seeks truthfulness.

The Tao can be described as the masculine and feminine. As a governing vessel, it is superior to the older sex.When we stop to think about it, we realize that the All-Knowing Woman is quite feminine.When we look at the feminine in the All-Knowing Man, we see a primeval blank.When we look at the masculine in the All-Knowing Woman, we see an energetic vivacity.We all use the feminine, but only in special situations.For example, when we use the feminine when handling emotions, we fail to recognize the full value of our tears.When we use the masculine when talking of ourselves, we're speaking of a selfishness that devalues our vital force.We all have our functions to perform, but only a part of our potentiality.The All-Knowing Woman is patient and centered. She strives to keep the whole person whole. But the Wise Man uses force and violence to control and command.The All-Knowing Woman is steady and responsive. She strives to keep the whole person whole.

Can the Way inspire good, but still leave some kind of evil behind?Because good and bad are both so natural, how can the Way be just?

While virtuous rulers 
Keep their subordinates 
When they are inferior in strength 
They give their loyal servitudes.
When an inferior person doesn't submit 
Then he must hold a warrior.
When a sacrificial sacrificial person doesn't leave 
Then it is a mission to assist the poor.
When virtuous and virtuous people cannot stand 
And the ruler views them 
Just as if they are instruments 
The loyal servitude of the sacrifice 
Must not be rejected.

The female is superior to the male, and the following is the reason why:
Let's call the female 'creative.' Creative without becoming? Returning again? Creative and without doing what it doesn't want? Creative and without acts? If it would wish to, it can act without a cause. The male is superior to the female, and the following is the reason why:
Let's call the male 'male.' Male without being. Returning again? Male with being? And as having be without doing what it doesn't want? There is no male without being.
