"Heaven and earth are everlasting The reason heaven and earth can last forever Is that they do not exist for themselves Thus they can last forever Therefore the sage: Places himself last but ends up in front Is outside of himself and yet survives Isn't it all due to his selflessness? That's how he can achieve his own goals"
