Be rid of holiness; throw out learning,
and people will benefit a hundred times over.
Be rid of benevolence; throw out morality,
and people will rediscover respect and love.
Be rid of ingenuity; throw out profit-seeking,
and thieves and crooks will disappear.
Those three principles are just the externals, thus, insufficient.
So let us abide in the inward three:
Recognizing what is genuine, you embrace your original simplicity.
Dropping your self-interest, you curb habituation.
Emptying yourself of enculturtion, you end anxiety.
