The ten-thousand things (everything) follow the Tao.
Its mystery is the good person's treasure.
It protects the bad person.
Pleasing words can be used to sell.
Honorable actions bring people together.
Why reject the essence of people who are not good?
The emperor who appoints three ministers to bring precious jade preceded by a team of four horses is not equal to the stillness of advancing the Tao.
We honor the Tao because it came first.
Does it not say that those who seek to attain reality can thus free themselves from wrongdoing?
Thus the act of becoming human is Heaven below's (the sacred body's) treasure. |
