Context


Content with an ordinary life, you can show all people the way back to their own true nature.
66 All streams flow to the sea because it is lower than they are.
Humility gives it its power. If you want to govern the people,
you must place yourself below them.
If you want to lead the people, you must learn how to follow them. The Master is above the people,
and no one feels oppressed.
She goes ahead of the people, and no one feels manipulated.
The whole world is grateful to her.” source
