Because
I lack importance, I have perception.
I walk with the glorious Tao.
I dread straying from its path.
The
path of the great Tao is deceptively smooth and the people are
liable to take side paths.
Palaces will have excess splendor.
Fields will have excess weeds.
Granaries will be very empty.
People will be dressed in elegant clothes.
People will have excessive food and drink.
They will have a surplus of wealth and possessions.
This is called stealing and exaggeration, not the Tao!
