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 3, Chapter 12


The eyes can become blind to the five colors.
The ears can become deaf to the five notes.
The mouth can become dull to the five tastes.
Too much hunting in a field over excites the heart and mind.
Precious goods hinder one’s activities.

The sages attend to their souls, not to what their eyes see.
They discard the latter and take hold of the former.
