When you praise worthy people, you make other people envious and quarrelsome.
When you value rare things highly, you turn honest people into thieves.
If you show people exciting things, you will make them covetous and greedy.
In-Yo or Yin-Yang, the two sides of the one. Balance, finding that equality that generates energies that connect with heaven and earth; sun and moon; humanity and Tao. Letting one side or the other take a dominant role causes the mind and body to unbalance itself resulting in a troubled mind and a sick body. This is not conducive to health; this is not conducive to optimal action in the fighting arts; this is not conducive to a level of energy that brings about mind-body-spirit unity or "one".
The wise rule by keeping the peoples' hearts empty (of desire) and their bellies full.
Keep the mind empty and the heart full. Wholehearted action results in true living with benefit to the spirit-mind-body oneness. The desire to achieve belts, trophies, accolades from others lessens our connectivity with the Tao; the Universe; it empties our true heart corrupting the mind leaving the spirit diminished with the bodies energies lowering to dangerous levels.
Remain full of the highest energies provided by the connection to the Tao. Let karma take you like a feather on the wind to higher levels of connective-ness. Make the spirit-mind-body "one".
Making their bones strong and their ambitions weak.
Present Moment is to have an empty yet active mind. The energies will have a free and open connection to you allowing growth, health, and well being with out brings dysfunction, disease, and death; both physical and/or spiritual.
Since the people are free of avarice and desire, even the most cunning grifter has no opportunity to corrupt them.
Being free from the ego; free from the past; free from the future; remaining in the "now"; to be present and with the mind-of-no-mind connects us through serious-continuous-intent training and practice into one of undefeatable spirit-mind-body.
No judgement; no labeling; no emotional influences; nothing but intent and action in life as in combat (although one is sometime less final then the other).
By using the "act without action" principle, everything just falls into place.
Action shall not be brought forth by emotional mind-ness. Let any action come from the ability to not act with out mind-no-mind; that which connects us to the all encompassing energy of the Universe sometimes called the "Tao".
