65. Subtlety
the ancients did not seek to rule people with knowledge,
but to help them become natural.
it is difficult for knowledgeable people to become natural;
so to use law to control a nation weakens the nation,
but to use nature to control a nation strengthens the nation.
understanding these two paths is understanding subtlety;
subtlety runs deep, ranges wide,
resolves confusion and preserves peace.
