Tao Te Ching · Ch. 13

寵辱若驚,貴大患若身。何謂寵辱若驚?寵為下,得之若驚,失之若驚,是謂寵辱若驚。何謂貴大患若身?吾所以有大患者,為吾有身,及吾無身,吾有何患?故貴以身為天下,若可寄天下;愛以身為天下,若可託天下。

Chǒng rǔ ruò jīng, guì dà huàn ruò shēn. Hé wèi chǒng rǔ ruò jīng? Chǒng wéi xià, dé zhī ruò jīng, shī zhī ruò jīng, shì wèi chǒng rǔ ruò jīng. Hé wèi guì dà huàn ruò shēn? Wú suǒ yǐ yǒu dà huàn zhě, wéi wú yǒu shēn, jí wú wú shēn, wú yǒu hé huàn? Gù guì yǐ shēn wéi tiān xià, ruò kě jì tiān xià; Ài yǐ shēn wéi tiān xià, ruò kě tuō tiān xià.

Favor and disgrace both startle — treasure great trouble as you treasure your own body. What does it mean that favor and disgrace both startle? Favor is something lesser; receiving it startles, losing it startles — this is what is meant by 'favor and disgrace both startle.' What does it mean to treasure great trouble as you treasure your body? The reason I have great trouble is that I have a self. When I have no self, what trouble do I have? Therefore, one who values the world as himself may be entrusted with the world; one who loves the world as himself may be given the world.
