"In the world many call me great, yet I seem to have no intelligence. The Master indeed is great, yet he also seems to have no intelligence. As regards our intelligence, its smallness is of long continuance. The Master and I have three treasures, We hold them and prize them. The first is called "Deep Love," The second is called "Protectiveness," The third is called "Not planning to be first." Having Deep Love, you then can have courage. Having Protectiveness, you then can give freely. Not planning to be first, you will be a perfect instrument that will endure. Now, men neglect Deep Love and seek courage, They put aside Protectiveness and see extravagance. They leave the second place and seek the first, Then death comes. The Master fights by means of Love, then he conquers. He keeps guard by means of it, then he is impregnable. Heaven will save him and Love will defend him."
