I see the Master Taoist. Namaste’!
29.
Would you like to take over the world and rule it?
I see that you have no choice.
The world is a spiritual vessel,
You cannot control it,
Whoever acts will destroy it,
Whoever grasps will lose it.
Therefore, things sometimes go forward/active, sometimes follow/passive;
Sometimes breathe heavy, sometimes breathe easy;
Sometimes strong, sometimes weak;
Sometimes minor damage, sometimes total damage.
Thus the sage removes the extremes,
Removes the wasteful,
Removes the excess.
