1- Freedom
When you are content to be simply yourself
and don't compare or compete,
everybody will respect you.
Empty your mind of all thoughts.
Let your heart be at peace.
the Tao is.
It is beyond is and is not.
How do I know this is true?
I look inside myself and see
If you realize that you have enough,
you are truly rich.
If you stay in the center
and embrace death with your whole heart,
you will endure forever.
When there is no desire,
all things are at peace.
If you look to others for fulfillment,
you will never truly be fulfilled.
Be content with what you have;
rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
the whole world belongs to you.
See the world as your self.
Have faith in the way things are.
Love the world as your self;
then you can care for all things.
He doesn't think about his actions;
they flow from the core of his being.
2- Equality
Being and non-being create each other.
Difficult and easy support each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low depend on each other.
Before and after follow each other.
The Master sees things as they are,
without trying to control them.
She lets them go their own way,
and resides at the center of the circle.
Thus the Master is available to all people
and doesn't reject anyone.
She is good to people who are good.
She is also good to people who aren't good.
This is true goodness.
She trusts people who are trustworthy.
She also trusts people who aren't trustworthy.
This is true trust.
