Chapter 7
IndexThe highest good is like water.
Water excels in benefiting all things without contention, dwelling in places that people disdain. Thus, it is close to the Way.
In dwelling, be close to the land. In meditation, go deep in the heart. In dealing with others, be gentle and kind. In speech, be true. In ruling, be just. In business, be competent. In action, watch the timing.
Only by not contending, one remains free from blame.
