26. Heaviness is the root of lightness
Heaviness is the root of lightness.
Composure is the ruler of instability.
Therefore the sage travels all day
Without putting down his heavy load.
Though there may be spectacles to see
He easily passes them by.
This being so
How could the ruler of a large state
Be so concernced with himself as to ignore the people?
If you take them lightly you will los eyour roots.
If you are unstable, you will lose your rulership.
