The Tao is like the bow of heaven.
When drawn, its top is bent down, its bottom bent up,
and what was slack is tightened –
creating the power where previously there was none.
The principles of cosmic energy flow
take resources from the strong to give to the weak.
Human ideas of energy flow take
from those who have nothing
to give to those who have most.
Who is qualified to offer the world spiritual riches?
Only someone who understands Tao.
S/he alone can act without illusion,
achieve objectives without demanding credit,
and requires noone's permission.
