Achieve Greatness
Translation by Tree Buffalo
Nature’s Great Way floods over in all directions!
Everything relies on it for life, and it does not refuse.
Where it succeeds it takes no credit.
Where it clothes and nourishes it does not rule.
Always without desire, it can be considered insignificant.
Everything returns there, but cannot master it.
Call it great action.
Because in the end selfless action is great.
Hence it is possible to achieve greatness.
