10
IN keeping the spirit and the vital soul together,
Are you able to
maintain their perfect harmony?
In gathering your vital energy to
attain suppleness,
Have you reached the state of a new-bom babe?
In
washing and clearing your inner vision,
Have you purified it of all
dross?
In loving your people and governing your state,
Are you able
to dispense with cleverness?
In the opening and shutting of heaven's
gate,
Are you able to play the feminine part?
Enlightened and seeing
far into all directions,
Can you at the same time remain detached
and
non-active?
Rear your people!
Feed your people!
Rear them without claiming
them for your own!
Do your work without setting any store by it!
Be
a leader, not a butcher!
This is called hidden Virtue.
