"Let Heavenly Love fill you and overflow in you, Not according to your measure of fulness. Prove it, probe deeply into it, It shall not long withstand you. You may fill a place with gold and precious stones, You will not be able to guard them. You may be weighted with honours and become proud. Misfortune then will come to your Self. You may accomplish great deeds and acquire fame, Retire yourself; This is Heavenly Tao."

You may fill a place with gold and precious stones, You will not be able to guard them. You may be weighted with honours and become proud. Misfortune then will come to your Self.
