Stuora lágideapmi orru vuosttaldeapmái

成缺 静 清静

Original

大成若缺，其用不弊。大盈若冲，其用不穷。
大直若屈，大巧若拙，大辩若讷。
躁胜寒，静胜热。清静为天下正。

15 Old carvings of ancient masters reveal the Way's profound mysteries, showing subtle wisdom through their careful approach to existence. The masters embody the balance between stillness and action, understanding that true wisdom lies in restraint and acceptance. Their lives demonstrate how to navigate the world with humility, neither grasping nor pushing, but flowing naturally with the Tao's rhythm. 16 Reaching the limit of emptiness and guarding stillness with deep dedication, observing how all things return to their origin. The Way teaches that returning to the root is stillness, and stillness is returning to destiny, which is the eternal constant. Knowing this constant brings clarity and acceptance, while ignorance leads to chaos. Through understanding constancy, one aligns with the Way, achieving lasting peace. 26 Guoktáivuohta lea johtilvuohta govdni 41 Allamiiheapme guldala Dávgga
