Emulate others and gain daily
Follow the Way and lose daily

Lose, again and again
And you'll learn to play no role
Play no role, and nothing is left unfinished

Attain the world without ever involving yourself
Being on the level of worldly affairs
Is not enough to attain the world

為學日益
為道日損

損之又損
以至於無為
無為而無不為

取天下常以無事
及其有事
不足以取天下
