Chapter 2 – Worldly affair are not a Noble Persons Priorities!

Chapter 2 – Worldly affair are not a Noble Persons Priorities!

Those who mind the world lightly are also lightly stained by it,

Those who enter deeply into the world affairs are mired in its calculating ways.

Thus a noble person would rather be naive then clever,

Relaxed rather than bent upon trifles.
