The
ancients were excellent in the practice of the Tao.
It was surely not only because they were of the light, but because
they were able to receive the people's folly.
People
are difficult to govern because of their extreme cunning.
Therefore cunning governs the rulers of the country.
They are thieves.
When cunning does not govern the rulers of the country, there
is good fortune.
Recognize both of these.
Always
pay attention to the way the master speaks of the mysterious action
of the soul.
The mysterious action of the soul is deep! Distant!
Join with its substance and return!
After this great harmony is at its height.
