Heaven operates like the bending of a bow ~

the high pulls down

the low brings up

It takes from that which has too much

And gives to that which has too little

The way of man is otherwise ~

he takes from that which is depleted

and gives to that which has too much

Who can offer an abundance to the world? ~

One who has Tao

Such a one can give like the heavens

The Sage gives

without relying on his own effort

He completes

without waiting for reward

He illumines

without stepping from the shadow
