The profound virtue



Knows, the one not speaks.
Speaks the one not knows.
He shuts his mouth, closes his gates.

He blunts his sharpness.
He unravels his tangles.
He dims his brilliancy.
He identifies himself with the dust.
This is called profound identification.

Therefore not he can be obtained and be loved
and not can he be obtained and be discarded.
Not can he be obtained and interested in profit 
and not can he be obtained and be injured.
Not can he be obtained and be honored,
and not can he be obtained and be humiliated.
Therefore it becomes the world's honor.
