Chapter 64

Shu A Ka A Mbur Ka Ka Ka Mbur

微始慎终如始自然

Original

其安易持，其未兆易谋，其脆易泮，其微易散。为之于未有，治之于未乱。
合抱之木，生于毫末；九层之台，起于累土；千里之行，始于足下。
为者败之，执者失之。是以圣人无为故无败，无执故无失。
民之从事，常于几成而败之。慎终如始，则无败事。
是以圣人欲不欲，不贵难得之货；学不学，复众人之所过。以辅万物之自然而不敢为。

Akpohol sha tsambe

Wang Bi (226–249 CE)

当以慎终除微，慎微除乱。为之于未有，治之于未乱。合抱之木，生于毫末；九层之台，起于累土；千里之行，始于足下。

James Legge (1891)

That which is at rest is easily kept hold of; before a thing has given indications of its presence, it is easy to take measures against it. The tree which fills the arms grew from the tiniest sprout; the tower of nine storeys rose from a (small) heap of earth; the journey of a thousand li commenced with a single step.
