Chapter 59
Power of the Spirit

a
In governing men and serving Heaven
There is nothing better than restraint
To manifest restraint is to surrender early from wasteful ideas

b
By surrendering early, one accumulates the power of the Spirit
The one who accumulates the power of the Spirit can overcome all
things

c
If one can overcome all things
Then anything is possible
If anything is possible
Then one can possess sovereignty

With the power of the Spirit
d
One can endure for a long time
This is planting deep roots and building strong foundations
The Way of eternal life and lasting vision
