Chapter 26 - The Art of Not Losing Yourself

Burden is the root of all that is weightless.
Serenity lords over all that is restless.
The noble knows burden they bear cannot be ended,
Despite the honour unassuming,
They dwell as spirits that have transcended.

Upon earth where the reckless rulers lie,
Weightlessness appears while the burdens die?
The root that follows thus decays,
The restlessness that takes over thus betrays.

重为轻根，静为躁君。是以君子终日行不离辎重，虽有荣观，燕处超然。奈何万乘之主，而以身轻天下？轻则失根，躁则失君。
