The Paradoxes of Life
Profound words are not clever,
Clever words are not profound.
Wise people are not quarrelsome.
Quarrelsome people are not wise.
Those who are intelligent
Are not ideologues.
Those who are ideologues
Are not intelligent.
The enlightened never hoard anything,
They share their possessions.
The more they give,
The greater their abundance.
The Great Integrity
Is the physician of the universe
Who heals without harming
And who acts without contention.
