Overfulfillment
Keep filling your bowl,
And it will spill over.
Keep sharpening your knife,
And it will blunt.
Keep hoarding gold in your house,
And you will be robbed.
Keep seeking approval,
And you will be chained.
The Greatest Integrity leads to actualization,
Never overfulfillment.
Translator; Ralph Alan Dale
Verse 9
Another Version from Wayne Dyer
Living the Wisdom of the Tao..
To keep on filling
Is not as good as stopping,
Overfilled, the cup hands drip,
Better to stop pouring.
Sharpen a blade too much
And its edge will soon be lost.
Fill your house with jade and gold
And it brings insecurity.
Puff yourself with honor and pride
And no one can save you from a fall.
Retire when the work is done;
This is the way of heaven.
