📜 The full text of Chapter 3 from the Tao Te Ching:

If you overesteem great men, people become powerless.
If you overvalue possessions, people begin to steal.

The Master leads
by emptying people’s minds and filling their cores,
by weakening their ambition and toughening their resolve.
He helps people lose everything they know, everything they desire,
and creates confusion in those who think that they know.

Practice not-doing,
and everything will fall into place.
