Heaven is everlating and Earth is perpetual.

Why so? Because they live without holding onto any consciousness of self.

Therefore, they can endure forever.

One who does not seperate his being from the nature of universal wholeness

lives with the universal virtue of wholeness.

He, too, dissolves all consciousness of self.

By putting himself behind others, he finds himself foremost.

By not considering his own personal ends, the aim of his personal life is 

accomplished.

He finds himself safe, secure and preserved.

Because he does not hold the concept of self, his true nature can fully

merge with the one universal life.
