Facebook memory of 2009 dated 2nd September

第 七 十 八 章  天 下 柔 弱 莫 過 於 水 , 而 攻 堅 強 者 莫 之 能 勝 , 其 無 以 易 之 。 弱 之 勝 強 , 柔 之 勝 剛 , 天 下 莫 不 知 , 莫 能 行 。 故 聖 人 云 , 受 國 之 垢 , 是 謂 社 稷 主 ; 受 國 之 不 祥 , 是 謂 天 下 王 。 正 言 若 反 。

78.    The world's weak plus soft, nothing can compare to water; but when water attacks rigid and strong, none can withstand it, and nothing can alter its way. So, weak wins over strong, soft wins over steel. The world: none able to know? none able to act? So the Sage said:- 'Be a country's dirt is called lord of the country (god of the land and grain); be a country's inauspicious person is called the world's master.' Correct saying if reversed or this is paradox.

[    This chapter is something like the expounder of 4-line stanza in Diamond Sutra, Son-of-Perdiction in the Bible and 3rd to be reinforced in the Quran.]
