Chapter 66
Leading From Behind

a
Rivers and oceans are like kings of a hundred valleys
Because they are good at taking the lowest place
Thus they are like kings of a hundred valleys

If you want to be the Master
b
You must become the Servant

c
If you want to be first
You must place yourself last

Thus when the Son was deemed Master
d
The people did not feel burdened

And when the Son was positioned first
The people did not feel harmed

Therefore, the people joyfully glorified Him without getting
tired of Him

e
Do not compete
And competition will not meet you
