give up religiosity and knowledge,
and people will benefit a hunderedfold.
discard morality and righteousness,
and people will return to natural love.
abandon shrewdneess and profiteering,
and there won't be any robbers or thieves.these are external matters, however.
what is most important is what happens within:
look to what is pure;
hold to what is simple;
let go of self-interest;
temper your desires.relinquish what is without.
cultivate what is within.
live for your center, not your senses.when people find one thing beautiful,
another consequently becomes ugly.
when one man is held up as good,
another is judged deficient.
