Tao Te Ching, chapter 66
The reason why Jiang Hai can be the king of a hundred valleys is because of his good deeds, so he can be the king of a hundred valleys. It is the desire of a saint to go up to the people, and he will say it with his words. If he wants to be the people before him, he will follow them. In front of the former residence, the people are harmful, and the people are important, and the world is happy to push and disgusted. With its lack of contention, the world can not compete with it.
The reason why Jiang Hai can be the king of a hundred valleys is because of his good deeds, so he can be the king of a hundred valleys.
It is precisely because the sage will deal with humanity and heaven on the top, so he can store all things, just like the virtue of a hundred rivers and the road of the sea.
It is the desire of a saint to go up to the people, and he will say it with his words.
If the saint wants the people to guard the road, he must set an example, teach without words, do not help heaven with people, do not act recklessly, and do not divide heaven and man;
If he wants to be the people before him, he will follow them.
If the sage wants the people to accumulate heavenly virtue, he will definitely put the avenue first, and the humanity and his own body will be the last, not the first in the world.
In front of the former residence, the people are harmful, and the people are important, and the world is happy to push and disgusted.
Therefore, the implementation of the avenue, with the avenue as the front, the people guard the avenue, and the virtue is sufficient, the virtue is sufficient, the desire is not born, the self is not lost to things, the name is not trapped, and the harm is not harmed.
The avenue is up, the people are nourished by virtue, pure heart and few desires, understand the four reaches, it is the weight of light and no wisdom and ingenuity, the saint is the people with virtue, and the virtue is successful in the world, the world is safe, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
With its lack of contention, the world can not compete with it.
The saint does not compete with the sky, does not covet the work of the sky, the world is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, this is just the function of the avenue, and the saint assists the avenue, so the saint is not self-conscious, not boastful, so the world can not compete with it.
