Tao for Today - Chapter Twenty two
Tao for Today - Chapter Twenty two
Yield and overcome
Bend and be straight
Empty and be full
Wear out and be new
Have little and gain
Have much and be confused.
Therefore wise men embrace the one
And set an example to all
No putting on a display
They shine forth.
Not justifying themselves
They are distinguised.
Not boasting,
They receive recognition.
Not bragging,
They never falter.
They do not quarrel,
So no one quarrels with them.
Therefore the ancients say, "Yield and overcome"
Is that an empty saying?
Be really whole
And all things will come to you.
