Tao removes distracting thoughts

In the pursuit of learning, knowledge grows day by day. In the pursuit of the Tao, desires and restless thoughts fall away day by day. Let go, and let go again, until you reach non-action. When you practice non-action, there is nothing you cannot accomplish. To govern the world, keep clear and still, and do not stir up trouble. If you stir up too much trouble, you are not fit to govern the world.
