41
The tallest mountain
will be humbled
By the wind and the rain
Time will see to that
Every wind will blow itself out
Every cloud will empty
Be gentle against resistance
The Tao is eternal
She needs no defence
She encompasses all things
You defend only your ego
The most powerful
Appear dim and indifferent
Weak, lacking in resolve
Appear defenceless
An embodiment of the Tao
What need has a master of defences
