The five colors blind the eye.

The five tones deafen the ear.

The five flavors dull the taste.

Racing and hunting madden the mind.

Precious things lead one astray.

 

Therefore the sage is guided by what he feels

and not by what he sees.

He lets go of that and chooses this.

 

- Lao-tzu

Tao Te Ching

Translation by Gia-fu Feng and Jane English

Vintage Books Edition, September 1972
