Modesty
The Great Integrity, having had no birth,
Expresses its immortality
Without pronouncements.
The wise are heard
Through their silence
Always self-full through selflessness.
Translator; Ralph Alan Dale
Verse 7
Another Version from Wayne Dyer
Living the Wisdom of the Tao..
Heaven is eternal – the earth endures.
Why do heaven and earth last forever?
They do not live for themselves only.
This is the secret of their durability.
For this reason the sage puts himself last
And so ends up ahead.
He stays a witness to life,
So he endures.
Serve the needs of others,
And all your own needs will be fulfilled.
Through selfless action, fulfillment is attained.
