"The Ancients who were good in practicing Tao Did not teach the people with intelligence But kept them in ignorance.* The people are hard to govern when they know too much.** Therefore, one who rules the nation with knowledge robs the nation.*3* One who does not rule the nation with knowledge brings good fortune to the nation. To know these two things means to know the standard. To constantly know the standard is called mystical virtue. Mystical virtue goes deep and far.*4* It returns with all things*5* to reach great harmony."
