The Taming Power of the Small
gentle wind and creative heaven
the small can tame the great
this has success
there is no rain from the west
the wind comes from heaven
-the small taming the great-
and so the superior man
refines his outward self
*
return to the Way
how can there be blame in this?
This one allows himself to return
Spokes break in the wheel
Husband and wife separate
If you are sincere, if you are sincere
There will be no blame
Sincerity and loyalty-
You are rich
With rain comes rest
Character does this
And it is almost a full moon
So if the superior man should persist
-and this is also true for the woman-
misfortune will come
