The Chapter excerpts from the Tao Te Ching, Chapter 63, focus on the conduct of the sage. The sage acts selflessly, achieving greatness by focusing on seemingly small, easy tasks first. This approach, emphasizing virtue, humility, and careful preparation, ultimately leads to the successful completion of even the most challenging endeavors. The text uses parables and contrasts between the sage's methods and those of ordinary people to illustrate this point. Ultimately, the sage's success stems from their mindful approach and avoidance of rash action.
