THE WAY OF THE ACTION OF THE SOUL
A New Translation of the Tao Te Ching
by Alan Sheets and Barbara Tovey
(Purchase Book and CDs)

SoulType 2, Chapter 74


If people are not afraid to die, why would you use death to threaten them?

If you make people constantly fear death, and seize the dishonest ones and kill them, who would dare to do the killing?
An official would do the killing.
The one who kills is like the person who takes the place of the great artisan who created the universe.
Whomever takes the place of this great artisan rarely escapes injuring their own hand!
