Accept disgrace willingly. Accept misfortune as

the human condition.

 

What do you mean by " Accept disgrace willingly " ?

Accept being unimportant. Do not be concerned

with loss or gain. This is called " accepting dis-

grace willingly. "

 

What do you mean by " Accept misfortune as the

human condition " ? Misfortune comes from having

a body. Without a body, how could there be mis-

fortune?

 

Surrender yourself humbly; then you can be trusted

to care for all things. Love the world as your own

self; then you can truly care for all things.

 

- Lao-tzu
