Daodejing Poem 22

第 二 十 二 章 

曲 則 全 , 枉 則 直 , 窪 則 盈 , 弊 則 新 , 少 則 得 , 多 則 惑 , 是 以 聖 人 抱 一 , 為 天 下 式 。 不 自 見 故 明 , 不 自 伐 故 彰 , 不 自 是 故 有 功 , 不 自 矜 故 長 。 夫 惟 不 爭 , 故 天 下 莫 能 與 之 爭 。 古 之 所 謂 曲 則 全 者 , 豈 虛 言 哉 ! 誠 全 而 歸 之 。 

The crooked shall be made straight, the rough places plain; the pools shall be filled, the worn renewed; the needy shall have abundant and the rich shall be perplexed. Therefore the Sage focusing on the Mystic Portal as a model to the world. Not upholding his personal views, therefore he is enlightened; not asserting himself, he is distinguished; not boasting his powers, he is effective; taking no pride in himself, he is chief. Because he does not compete, no one in the world can compete with him. The saying of old:- 'The crooked shall be made straight' is not in vain. Totally perfect then return to the Mystic Portal.

The message is for the Sage King. So what I have done in my websites and forum discussions are proof of my action. The most important thing is to focus on the One inside us, at our nose bridge.

Nature will take its course. I don't have to worry about when I will be crowned.
