65
"Of Old, he who was active in Tao did not use it to make people enlightened, but to make them more kind. If people are difficult to govern it is because they have too much knowledge. Therefore if you govern a kingdom by knowledge, you will be an oppressor of the kingdom. But if you govern a kingdom by wisdom, you will give happiness to the kingdom. If you know and do these things you will be a pattern for men. Knowledge of how to be always a pattern for men is called profound Teh. Profound Teh is in the very source of life, it pervades the utmost limits of life, it returns and dwells in every being. When fully manifested, it unites all beings in a great harmony."
