"Governing a large state Is like cooking a small fish. When Dao prevails over the world, The demons lose their spiritual power. Not only do demons lose their spiritual power, The spirits do not hurt people. Not only do spirits not hurt people, The sage does not hurt people either. Because neither party hurts, De is able to converge and return to its origin."
