Hold and manage the soul of the body.
Embrace the One (the Source) with the power of not-separation!
Concentrate your chi (vital force) to attain the gentle power of a newborn infant!
Cleanse and purify your deep (inner) perception so it can be without flaws!
Cherish the people.
Govern the country with the power of emptiness!
As heaven’s gate opens and closes (as life changes) retain the ability to act like a mother bird caring for her young!
Illuminate the purity of the four directions.
Open up to the power of not doing* (wu wei)!
It gives life from the Source.
It gives life and does not posses.
It acts and does not presume.
It increases and does not rule.
This speaks of the mysterious action of the soul.
*Not
doing is the practice of letting your soul lead your actions by
stepping back and not interfering. |
