How do we recognize those whose lives are truly dedicated to abiding in the sacred Way, the True Seekers? |
Without display, they shine.
Without righteousness,
They are distinguished.
Without boasting,
They are recognized.
Without self-importance,
They endure.
Without judging,
They avoid conflict.
(from Verse 22)
Grounded in their Source,
They free themselves.
Secure in their core,
They flow with the Tao.
(from Verse 7)

 |
| | True Seekers are wary
Of all these labels,
Preferring a Way
Of unforced action and stillness.
Then, without strain, all is accomplished.
(from Verse 2)
|
|
Therefore, True Seekers
Avoid forceful action,
Allowing others to transform themselves;
They protect their quietude,
Allowing others to learn tolerance;
They resist interfering,
Allowing others to find their own Way;
And they free themselves from attachments,
Allowing others to find their own true nature.
(from Verse 57)
