the taller one builds a building

  the more likely it will fall

so, too, one shouldn't

  follow a metaphysical system

so large it will fail

 

we should stay mainly with the foundations

of wisdom

  that of proper conduct

    guided by good reason and common sense

just as an athlete's skill doesn't come without training,

so, too, a person wanting to seek truth and magnanimity

  must train

    and follow a prescribed path of improvement

 

they must understand that they know little

become in wonderment of life

purify and change their past habits

    by observing the harmony of the earth

look to the positive side

   the gentle, the compassionate side

drawing general principals from observations of nature

following their rules of thought

   that it's best to be wise, kind, generous and peaceful

 

by improving step by step

  one reinforces their behavior

     while good habits are formed

 

pruifying and changing old habits

   and letting them go

     replacing them with good ones

eventually one'll do well without trying

   it will become part of their character and daily conduct

flowing slowly and gently with flexibility and patience

fulfilling oneself

   by working and sharing with others
