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 6, Chapter 24


On tiptoes, they cannot be steady.
When they straddle something, they cannot go forward.

Self-display is not the light.
Self-righteousness is not outstanding.

Boasting about yourself is not of service.
Praising yourself cannot endure.

From the point of view of the Tao this is called excessive consumption and redundant actions.
All beings will detest this.

One who follows the Tao does not dwell in excessive consumption and redundant actions.
