26. Calm

Gravity is the source of lightness,

Calm, the master of haste.


A lone traveller will journey all day, watching over his belongings;

Yet once safe in his bed he will lose them in sleep.


The captain of a great vessel will not act lightly or hastily.

Acting lightly, he loses sight of the world,

Acting hastily, he loses control of himself.


A captain can not treat his great ship as a small boat;

Rather than glitter like jade

He must stand like stone.
