Bend and you will be whole. Curl and you will be straight. Keep empty and you will be filled. Grow old and you will be renewed. Have a little and you will gain. Have much and you will be confused. Therefore. the Sage embraces the One and becomes a pattern to all under Heaven. He does not make a show of himself, hence he shines; does not justify himself, hence he becomes known; does not boast of his ability, hence he gets his credit; does not brandish his success, hence he endures; does not compete with anyone, hence no one can compete with him. Indeed, the ancient saying: "Bend and you will remain whole" is no idle word. Nay, if you have really attained wholeness, everything will flock to you. Lao Tzu. Chops: Follow the natural way and Three Treasures- Essence, vitality, spirit.
