Rushing into action, you fail.<br />Trying to grasp things, you lose them.<br />Forcing a project to completion,<br />you ruin what was almost ripe.<br /><br />Therefore the Master takes action<br />by letting things take their course.<br />He remains as calm at the end <br />as at the beginning.<br />He has nothing,<br />thus has nothing to lose.<br />What he desires is non-desire;<br />what he learns is to unlearn.<br />He simply reminds people<br />of who they have always been.<br />He cares about nothing but the Tao.<br />Thus he can care for all things.
