While ruling the people and serving Heaven
The finest rulers build up a store.
If you've built up a store
you can adhere to Tao early.
If you've adhered to Tao early
you can amass virtue.
When you've amassed virtue,
there is nothing you cannot do.
When there is nothing you cannot do
your capacity has no bounds.
Having boundless capacity,
you're ready to rule the realm.
Leaning on the mother of the realm,
you can last long.
You've been firmly established;
you have a strong support.
This is the Tao of long life,
This is the Tao of farsightedness.
[A] {potlh ghom}: A store is understood here as a stock of (important)
things for future use. I modelled this phrase on such words as {mu'ghom},
{mangghom}, {tIjwI'ghom}. However, rather than form a compound I decided to
use a two noun sequence, literally meaning "a group of important things"
