Chapter 3

By making some people look important, others lose interest. By overvaluing possessions, people begin to steal. Empty the mind, fill the belly; weaken the ambition and strengthen the bones. Know that less is more, and more is less. Decrease the desire for acquiring knowledge and things, and create confusion in those who think that they know -- for those who know do not talk, and those who talk do not know. Practice stillness, NOT-DOING. Everything will find its place. Then nothing is not in order.
