| 65.1 |
Those in ancient (times) who act (in accord to)
Tao,
do not (make things) clear
to (his) people,
but rather to fool them. |
| 65.2.1 |
People are being difficult to govern,
is
because they know. |
| 65.2.2 |
So
governing the country with knowingness,
(is) robbery to the
country. |
| 65.2.3 |
Not governing the country with
knowingness,
(is) virtue to the
country. |
| 65.3.1 |
Always know these two points (are) also models
for examining (one's) governing. |
| 65.3.2 |
Always know the models for examining (one's)
governing,
is called the virtue (and gaining) of Hsuan. |
| 65.3.3 |
The virtue (and
gaining) of Hsuan is indeed deep and far-reaching! |
|
It leads things
to reverse, |
|
and then reaches the (Age of) Great Accordance
(with Tao). |
