Tao Te Ching (Marshall)

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

Twenty-Six


Gravity is the ground of lightness.
Stillness is the master of unrest.

The sage can travel all day,
yet never wander far from the baggage wagon.
Though splendor and spectacle may beckon,
he remains unmoved, indifferent.

Why should the lord of ten thousand chariots act lightly?
One who acts lightly is not grounded.
One who is restless is not his own master.
