detachment from entanglements
Severing entanglements
means detachmeht from entanglements
in contrived mundane concerns. Relinquish concerns
and your body will not be under a strain,
contrive nothing and your mind will
naturally be calm.
As serenity and simplicity
develop day by day, worldly defilement
lessens day by day. As your behavior departs further
and further from the mundane, your mind
becomes closer and closer
to the Way.
…As long as we do not
initiate anything, others will naturally
not get involved; even if others initiate something,
we do not get involved. As past entangelments gradually
stop, do not form new involvements. Ritual socializing
and opportunistic intercourse naturally become
remote, and you become unburdened
and at peace. Only then can you
practice the Way.

the way of heaven, the way of the sage
True words aren’t
elaborate. Elaborate words aren’t true.
Good people don’t argue. People who argue
aren’t good. People who know aren’t
full of facts. People who are full
of facts don’t know.
The sage doesn’t hoard.
She increases her treasure by
working for her fellow human beings.
She increases her abundance
by giving herself
to them.
The way of heaven:
benefit all, harm none.
The way of the sage: work
for all, contend
with none.

taken away by random thoughts
The reason you
do not understand is just
because you are taken away by random
thoughts twenty-four hours a day. Since you
want to learn business, you fall in love with things
you see and fondly pursue things you read;
over time, you get continuously involved.
How can you manage to work on
enlightenment then?
