19 of 81, Poems from the Tao

19 of 81

Discard what you believe
To be sage, holy, or wise
Ideals lead to judgement

Give up the desire
To appear moral or fair
Seek the center

Be industrious
Let generosity be your profit
You will meet no thieves

There is no need to pursue happiness
It lies in every core

Let things unfold as they will
The center remains the center
It will reveal itself
