📜 Sã fɔlɔwɛ (Wang Bi · Legge · AI)
Wang Bi (226–249 CE)
为学日益，务欲进其所能，益其所习。为道日损，务欲反虚无也。无为而无不为，损之又损，以至于无。取天下，常以无事，及其有事，不足以取天下。
James Legge (1891)
He who devotes himself to learning (seeks) from day to day to increase (his knowledge); he who devotes himself to the Tao (seeks) from day to day to diminish (his doing). He diminishes it and again diminishes it, till he arrives at doing nothing (on purpose). Having arrived at this point of non-action, there is nothing which he does not do.
