73
HE who is brave in daring will be killed;
He who is brave in not
daring will survive.
Of these two kinds of bravery, one is
beneficial,
while the other proves harmful.
Some things are
detested by Heaven,
But who knows the reason?
Even the Sage is
baffled by such a question.
It is Heaven's Way to conquer without striving,
To get responses
without speaking,
To induce the people to come without summoning,
To
act according to plans without haste.
Vast is Heaven's net;
Sparse-meshed it is, and yet
Nothing can
slip through it.
