Heaven's reason

 



Heaven's reason,
it resembles the stretching of a bow.
Oh! The higher one brings down it.
The lower one raises it.
Who have abundance, 
the ones, diminishes them.
Who not have enough 
the ones, gives to them.

Heaven's reason
It diminishes have abundance 
and completes not enough.
Man's reason is not so.
It diminishes not enough
thereby to serve have abundance.
Who can have abundance
for the purpose of serving the world?

Therefore the holy man makes,
yet not claims.
Merit he accomplishes,
yet not dwells there.
He not wishes to let be seen his excellence.
Does he?
