wu wei

Knowing what cannot be known -
what a lofty aim!
Not knowing what needs to be known -
what a terrible result!

Only when your sickness becomes sick
will your sickness disappear

The sage's illness has become ill
his renunciation has been renounced
Now he is free
and every place in this world
is the perfect place to be

verse 71
Lao Tzu
translated by Jonathan Star
