The ancients who were skillful at the Tao Did not illuminate the people But rather kept them simple. When the people are difficult to rule It is because of their cleverness. Therefore If you use cleverness to rule the state You are a robber of the state. If you don't use cleverness to rule the state You are a blessing to the state. If you understand these two points, you know the proper norm for governing To be continuously understanding the proper norm is called Mysterious Virtue. How deep and far-reaching Mysterious Virtue is! It makes all return Until they reach the Great Norm. |
