Tao Te Ching §33: Know Yourself

by Peter Saint-Andre

2024-09-17

Here's another of my renderings from the Tao Te Ching:

To know others is intelligence
To know yourself is enlightenment
To master others is strength
To master yourself is power
To be content is wealth
To act with vigor is will
To hold onto the source is endurance
To die unforgotten is ageless life

Wisdom about the value of self-knowledge is spread throughout the world, even if the reality of its practice is far less common...
