Yielding is the way of the Tao.

Without going outside, you may know the whole world!

Can you care for the people and rule the country and not be cunning?

The first practice is the practice of undiscriminating virtue: take care of those who are deserving; also, and equally, take care of those who are not. When you extend your virtue in all directions without discriminating, you feet are firmly planted on the path that returns to the Tao.

When the Way is lost there is virtue. When virtue is lost there is benevolence. When benevolence is lost there is righteousness. When righteousness is lost there are rituals.

So the unwanting soul sees what's hidden, and the ever-wanting soul sees only what it wants.

On the one hand, loss implies gain; on the other hand, gain implies loss.
