"Heavenly Love is like water. Water blesses all things, It does not hurt them. It loves the lowly place that men dislike, Therefore it comes very near to Tao. The Master loves to dwell upon the earth. In his heart he loves Infinity, In his benevolence he loves giving, In his words he loves sincerity, In his government he loves peace, In his business affairs he loves ability, In his movements he loves punctuality. The Master, indeed, does not fight, Therefore his Inner Life increases."
