Tao Translation In Modern Words--#43

Every living thing
gets its strength from Tao.
Good people respect the value of Tao.
The wicked and foolish don't,
but Tao provides for them anyway.

Some people gain power and prestige
through fancy words,
others through great deeds.
But Tao is available to everyone,
not just the powerful.

So don't look down on anybody.
When people become powerful,
sit still and stay right with Tao.

Why have the Masters always respected Tao?
Because when you get right with Tao,
you can always find what you need to get by,
and trouble can never find you.
