为学日益
Reduce, reduce, reduce until nothing is left undone
“In learning, one accumulates day by day. In practicing the Tao, one reduces day by day. Keep reducing until you reach non-action. Nothing is done, nothing is left undone.”
为学日益,为道日损。损之又损,以至于无为。无为而无不为。取天下常以无事,及其有事,不足以取天下。
Growth is not about adding more — it is about letting go. Strip away the unnecessary until only what truly matters remains. The lighter you travel, the further you go.
为学日益——求学日日增加知识。
为道日损——修道天天减损私欲。
损之又损以至于无为——减少再减少,直到无妄为。
无为而无不为——不妄为则无不成之事。
取天下常以无事——治理天下要安静无事(不扰民)。
