place your esteem on the tao

ryo takemasa

 

He who desires

the admiration of the world

will do well to amass a great fortune

and then give it away. The world will respond

with admiration in proportion to the size

of his treasure. Of course, this

is meaningless.

 

Stop striving after

admiration. Place your esteem on

the tao. Live in accord with it, share with

others the teachings that lead to it,

and you will be immersed in the

blessings  that flow

from it.

know that enough is enough

people of tao

 

When

the world practices Tao,

horses fertilize the fields. When

the world ignores Tao,

horses are bred for

war.

 

There is no

greater calamity than

desire, no greater curse than greed.

Know that enough is enough,

and you’ll always have

enough.

the sage has no set mind

melt and let go and rest

 

The sage has no set mind.

She adopts the concerns

of others as her own.

 

She is good to the good.

She is also good to the bad.

This is real goodness.

 

She trusts the trustworthy.

She also trusts the untrustworthy.

This is real trust.

 

The sage takes the minds

of the worldly and spins them around.

People drop their ideas and agendas,

and she guides them like

beloved children.

tao doesn’t lord over anything

the highest good is like water

 

The great Tao

floods and flows in every direction.

Everything in existence depends on it, and it doesn’t deny them.

It accomplishes its work without naming or making claims for itself.

Everything in existence is clothed and nourished by it,

but it doesn’t strain over anything.

Aimless, ambitionless, it might

be called “small.”

 

Everything in

existence returns to it,

and still it doesn’t lord over anything.

Thus it might also be called

“great.”

 

Because it has no desire to

be great, it can achieve 

greatness.
