Dust and Royal Robes

Unread post

From the book "144 Aphorisms"


(3)
If your heart is open, dust may enter into it.
If you are afraid of dust, you are afraid of Tao.

如果你将心敞开，尘埃或许会进入。
如果你害怕尘埃，你也害怕前进 。

Fire the gatekeeper of your castle.
Open the gates to all who are interested.
Trade cannot happen without give and take.
Embracing all the dirty people removes the stains from your royal robes.

解雇你城堡的门卫
为所有有兴致的人开门
没有接受和给与就没有所谓贸易可言
拥抱所有沾满尘土的人才能消除你高贵长袍上的污渍
