36th Verse Tao - Living in Obscurity
Should you want to contain something,
You must deliberately let it expand.
Should you want to weaken something,
you must deliberately let it grow strong.
Should you want to eliminate something.
You must deliberately allow it to flourish.
Should you want to take something away,
you must deliberately grant to access.
The lesson here is called
the wisdom of obscurity.
The gentle outlasts the strong.
The obscure outlasts the obvious.
Fish cannot leave deep waters.
And a country’s weapons should not be displayed.
Interpreted by Wayne Dyer
