If a\nfeudal prince or the king could guard and hold it, all would\nspontaneously submit themselves to him.\n\nHeaven and Earth (under its guidance) unite together and send down\nthe sweet dew, which, without the directions of men, reaches equally\neverywhere as of its own accord.\n\nAs soon as it proceeds to action, it has a name. When it once has\nthat name, (men) can know to rest in it. When they know to rest in\nit, they can be free from all risk of failure and error.\n\nThe relation of the Tao to all the world is like that of the great\nrivers and seas to the streams from the valleys.",
