Chapter 48

Larn More, Let Go More

为学日益,为道日损。损之又损,以至于无为。无为而无不为。
取天下常以无事,及其有事,不足以取天下。
Wen yuh study an larn, yuh get more an more knowledge every day. But wen yuh walk di Way, yuh lose thing dem more an more every day. Yuh lose an lose until yuh reach a state of no-action. An wen yuh reach no-action, nothing cyan left unuh do.
If yuh waan治理天下, yuh mus do it tru not meddlin. But wen yuh start meddle about, yuh cyan rule nobody nohow.
