You will understand a great truth when you get to realize that what you do to others, you are doing to yourself.

Complete your task. Seek no reward. Make no claims. Without faltering fully choose to do what you must do.

Is not the space between Heaven and Earth like a bellows? It is empty, but lacks nothing. The more it moves, the more comes out of it.

Giving to others selflesly and anonymously, radiating light throughout the world and illuminating your own darkness, your virtue becomes a sanctuary for yourself and all beings.

If you want to become full, let yourself be empty.

As for the "proper way:" it is the beginning of disorder.

Of all that is good, sublimity is supreme. Succeeding is the coming together of all that is beautiful. Furtherance is the agreement of all that is just. Perseverance is the foundation of all actions.
