With but a small
understanding
One may follow the Way
Like a main road
Fearing only to leave it
Following the road of
Dao should be easy
Yet so many people
Travel on difficult
paths
Through their own choice
Wearing fine clothes
Bearing sharp swords
Drowning one’s self with
food and drink
Hoarding wealth and
possessions
These are the ways of
theft
And far from the Way
itself
