Inner Power
Translation by Tree Buffalo
Too many colors will blind the eye.
Too many notes will deafen the ear.
Too many tastes will spoil the mouth.
Too much competition will make the mind go mad.
Too much collecting will imprison the body.
This is why the wise person is guided by their inner power, rather than their external circumstances.
They reject what is over there, in favor of what is here.
