"For those who would like to take control of thw world and act on it— I see that with this they simply will not succeed. The world is a sacred vessel; It is not something that can be acted upon. Those who act on it destroy it; Those who hold on to it lose it. With things—some go forward, others follow; Some are hot, others submissive and weak; Some rise up while others fall down. Therefore the Sage: Rejects the extreme, the excessive, and the extravagant."
