A MEAN PERSON AND A NOBLE PERSON ARE NOT INNATE


A MEAN PERSON AND A NOBLE PERSON ARE NOT INNATE
(A poem of moral wisdom)
 

A mean person and a noble person are not innate

This depends upon whether Tao and Te are revealed or obscured

A thought reveals Te: the body of a noble person

A thought obscures Te: the arrival of a mean person

Reflect on where thoughts arise

Educating yourself, heroic persons

Anyone who sees you will love you: beauty of an exemplary person

A mean person is kept away from others, can hardly walk on earth
 

By Shanlin-Tzu
