Chapter 65

Of old those who were good at doing the Way
Did not enlighten the people
Tried to keep them ignorant
It is hard to govern the people
Because they are so clever
So
If you govern a countryby cleverness
You are a curse to the country
If you do not govern a countryby cleverness
You are a blessing to the country
Those who know these two things
Are also a standard to model
Always know the standard to model
So-called dark Virtue
Dark Virtue is deepsunken
Distant
It makes things revert
Whereby afterwards they reach the great union
