"To govern men and to serve heaven nothing is better than to have a reserve. The Master indeed has a reserve; it is called brilliant foresight. Brilliant foresight is called the increasing abundance of Teh. If you have an ever-increasing abundance of Teh , then your Inner Life is unconquerable. If you Inner Life in unconquerable, then its limits cannot be known. If you cannot gauge the limits of your Inner Life, then you shall surely possess the kingdom. If you possess the Mother of the kingdom, You shall endure forever. This is to be deep rooted and to have a firm foundation. The possessor of Tao shall have enduring life and infinite vision."
