Verse 24 Avoiding Voids



Standing on tiptoe will only make you tipsy,
Walking with long strides will not allow a long walk.
Shining the light on yourself will never enlighten you.
Being self-righteous precludes you from being right.
Boasting about yourself will never boost your eminence.
Prading yourself parodies leadership.

Tao consciousness avoids
the cultivation of all these ego bloated voids.
