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 9, Chapter 9


It is better to stop than to hold and overfill a cup.
A blade hammered to a sharp edge does not long endure.
If you fill your house with gold and jade, no one can guard this wealth, honor, and pride.
What follows is your downfall.

Withdraw when your work is done.
This is Heaven’s Tao.
