62. Gift
Flow is the fate of men,
The treasure of the saint,
And the refuge of the sinner.
Fine words are often borrowed,
And great deeds are often appropriated;
Therefore, when a person falls, do not abandon them,
And when a person gains power, do not honor them;
Remain impartial and offer flow.
Why should others appreciate flow?
The ancients said, "In this way, those who seek may easily find,
And those who regret may easily absolve,"
So flow is the most precious gift.
