Poem Artwork

Outside the limits of the human world,

He who is wise occupies his thoughts,

But does not discuss about anything;

Inside those limits he takes his thoughts,

But does not pass any judgements.

 

Such man can indicate his judgements,

But does not argue in vindication of them.

It is that he separates his characters from

One another without appearing to do so--

He argues without the form of argument.

 

How does he do so? He cherishes his views

In his chest while others generally state theirs

Argumentatively to show them to all to see.

Hence, there's a saying which teaches us that

"Any debate is a proof of not seeing clearly."

 

Who knows the argument that needs no words,

And the course that is not to be pursued?

He who knows this is like the Horn of Plenty:

You may pour into it without its being filled;

You may pour from it without its exhausting.

 

The more he gives the greater his abundance;

The more he does for others the more he gains.

And all the while he does not know whence

The supply comes -- such is the fathomless

Heavenly Storage he personifies on Earth!

It seems, by your poem, the more one gives, the more one receives.

Some very wise thoughts that the world would do well to heed. In a way, it seems like a conundrum: in giving we receive, in giving away, he accrue abundance. Thanks for raising this issue and focusing on it so well. John

The more he gives the greater his abundance. Well said and is the mystery of life which we all seek to give more than we receive.
