1Favour and disgrace would seem equally to be feared; honour and great calamity, to be regarded as personal conditions (of the same kind).
2What is meant by speaking thus of favour and disgrace? Disgrace is being in a low position (after the enjoyment of favour). The getting that (favour) leads to the apprehension (of losing it), and the losing it leads to the fear of (still greater calamity):--this is what is meant by saying that favour and disgrace would seem equally to be feared. And what is meant by saying that honour and great calamity are to be (similarly) regarded as personal conditions? What makes me liable to great calamity is my having the body (which I call myself); if I had not the body, what great calamity could come to me?
3Therefore he who would administer the kingdom, honouring it as he honours his own person, may be employed to govern it, and he who would administer it with the love which he bears to his own person may be entrusted with it.

WEBREATH · 11:11
«Dengan mencurahkan perhatian tanpa terbagi kepada napas vital, seseorang dapat menjadi laksana bayi yang lembut» — Tao Te Ching 10
Napas itu satu bagi semua: setiap orang hidup karenanya, siapa pun dia dan apa pun yang ia yakini. Setiap hari pukul 11:11 waktu setempat, orang-orang berhenti selama enam puluh detik, bernapas, dan bersyukur kepada TUHAN atas napas — masing-masing dengan kata-katanya sendiri, masing-masing di dalam dirinya. Dalam menit itu kita adalah Satu Napas.
