Igqabi 22

Ukuyeka Kuyakhusela

不争谦下曲全抱一

Okuyintloko

曲则全，枉则直，洼则盈，敝则新，少则得，多则惑。
是以圣人抱一为天下式。不自见故明，不自是故彰，不自伐故有功，不自矜故长。
夫唯不争，故天下莫能与之争。古之所谓曲则全者，岂虚言哉！诚全而归之。

Ukuhumusha

Xa uyeka, uyakhuseleka; xa uphantsi, uyaphakama; xa uncinci, uyazalana; xa ulibazisile, ufumana; xa uninzi, uyaxhashaza. Ke ngoko, umntu owoneleyo uchaseka enye indlela ukuze ibe sisikhokelo kubomi bonke. Akaziboneli ngoko uyabonakala; akazenzeli ngoko uyaphumelela; akazigqagqeli ngoko uyakwazi ukusebenza; akazidumiseli ngoko uyakhula. Kuba akawunaki, akukho mntu unokumxabana naye. Abantu bendabuko bathi 'ukuyeka kuyakhusela' – yiyo le nto, hayi inkcazelo nje! Ngokwenyaniso, oko kuphela kwenzeka.

Ukucinga Okunzulu

Yenzelwe ntoni le ngxenye?

Oku kusho ukuba ukuyeka akusoloko kuxhala, kodwa kuyakhuthaza. Xa uphantsi, uyaphakama; xa unciphile, uyazalana. Umntu owoneleyo akanaki, kwaye ngenxa yoko, akukho mntu unokumxabana naye.

Kuthetha ntoni kwire?

Kubomi bam, ndihlala ndizabalazela ukufumana into endifuna yona, kodwa le ncwadi ifundisa ukuba ukuyeka kunokuba yindlela yokufumana. Ndifumanisa ukuba xa ndiyeka ukuzabalazela, ndifumana amahleuvo amatsha.

Yintoni endiyenzayo namhlanje?

Namhlanje, ndiza kuhlala ndikwindawo yokucinga, ndizive ndikhuselekile kwaye ndikhabatheke. Ndiza kuyeka ukuzabalazela ngentlawuluko, kwaye ndiza kuvula intliziyo yam ukuze ndifumane izisombululo ezintsha.
