Therefore the sage holds in his embrace the one thing

Therefore the sage holds in his embrace the one thing (of
humility), and manifests it to all the world He is free from self-

display, and therefore he shines; from self-assertion, and therefore

he is distinguished; from self-boasting, and therefore his merit is

acknowledged; from self-complacency, and therefore he acquires

superiority It is because he is thus free from striving that

therefore no one in the world is able to strive with him





Therefore the sage desires what (other men) do not desire, Therefore the sage is (like) a square which cuts no
