Verse 46
When Tao is present in the empire
men follow their own nature
and riding horses work the fields
When Tao is absent from the empire
men go astray
and war horses breed on sacred ground
There is no greater loss than losing Tao
No greater curse than desire
No greater tragedy than discontentment
No greater fault than selfishness
Contentment alone is enough
Indeed, the bliss of eternity
can be found in your contentment
men follow their own nature
and riding horses work the fields
When Tao is absent from the empire
men go astray
and war horses breed on sacred ground
There is no greater loss than losing Tao
No greater curse than desire
No greater tragedy than discontentment
No greater fault than selfishness
Contentment alone is enough
Indeed, the bliss of eternity
can be found in your contentment
