19: The Freedom of Non-Attachment


Get rid of wisdom and reason and people will live a hundred times better

Get rid of kindness and justice and people once more will love and obey

Get rid of cleverness and profit and thieves will cease to exist

But these three sayings are incomplete

Hence let these be added

Display the undyed and preserve the uncarved

Reduce self-interest and limit desires
