To put behind oneself

 



Rivers seas the reason why they can become of the hundred valleys' the kings,
that because they can lower themselves.
Therefore they can become of the hundred valleys the kings.

Therefore the holy man wishing to be above the people;
surely in his words keeps below them.
Wishing to feed the people,
surely with his person keeps behind them.

Therefore the holy man dwells above,
yet the people not feel the burden.
He dwells as a leader yet the people not suffer harm.
Therefore the world rejoices in exalting and not tires.
Because he not quarrels,
therefore in the world none can with him quarrel.
