老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze 65. Subtlety

作者:《Lao Tze》李耳

  • The ancients did not seek to rule people with knowledge,
    But to help them become natural.

    It is difficult for knowledgeable people to become natural;
    So to use law to control a nation weakens the nation,
    But to use nature to control a nation strengthens the nation.

    Understanding these two paths is understanding subtlety;
    Subtlety runs deep, ranges wide,
    Resolves confusion and preserves peace.
