THE WAY OF THE ACTION OF THE SOUL
A New Translation of the Tao Te Ching
by Alan Sheets and Barbara Tovey

SoulType 8, Chapter 8


Supreme goodness follows the natural laws of the earth like water.
This goodness benefits the ten-thousand things (everything), yet it does not struggle.
It rejects the lowest place that people go.
This is why nature can be compared with the Tao.
The Earth is a good place to live with its profound good heart.

It is best to deal with others humanely.
Sincere speech is best.
A just government is best.
Competent service to others is best.
There is a proper timing for best actions.
The masters do not compete, therefore they will be without fault.
