China: Taoism 53

53

If I were suddenly to become known, and (put into a position
to) conduct (a government) according to the Great Tao, what I should
be most afraid of would be a boastful display.


The great Tao (or way) is very level and easy; but people love the
by-ways.

Their court(-yards and buildings) shall
be well kept, but their
fields shall be ill-cultivated, and their granaries very empty.
 
They
shall wear elegant and ornamented robes, carry a sharp sword at their

girdle, pamper themselves in eating and drinking,
 
and have a
superabundance of property and wealth;--such (princes) may be called

robbers and boasters. This is contrary to the Tao surely!
