The reason everybody calls my Tao great Is because there is nothing quite like it. It is exactly because it is great That there is nothing quite like it. If there were something that were consistently like it How could it be small? I have three treasures which I hold and cherish. The first is compassion, The second is frugality, The third is not daring to put myself ahead of everybody. Having compassion, I can be brave. Having frugality, I can be generous. Not daring to put myself ahead of everybody I can take the time to perfect my abilities. Now if I am brave without compassion Generous without frugality, or Go to the fore without putting my own concerns last, I might as well be dead. If you wage war with compassion you will win. If you protect yourself with compassion you will be impervious. Heaven will take care of you, Protecting you with compassion. |
