Tao Te Ching (Marshall)

A Translation of Lao Tsu's Tao Te Ching from the "The Perennial Way" by Bart Marshall

Nineteen


Abandon holiness, renounce wisdom.
It will be a hundred times better for everyone.

Eliminate morality and benevolence.
Love and empathy will naturally return.

Give up cleverness and profit.
Thieves and bandits will disappear.

But these are outward lessons, not the core.
Be simple.
Be true.
Cast off selfhood and desire.
