"Surrender brings perfection" The crooked become straight The empty become full The worn become new Have little and gain much Have much and be confused
So the Sage embraces the One and becomes a model for the world Without showing himself, he shines forth Without promoting himself, he is distinguished Without claiming reward, he gains endless merit Without seeking glory, his glory endures
The Sage knows how to follow so he comes to command He does not compete so no one under Heaven can compete with him
The ancient saying, "Surrender brings perfection," is not just empty words Truly, surrender brings perfection and perfection brings the whole universe
