《第八章》[View] [Edit] [History]

1 (河上公注本作易性章,彭本作上善章)
2 上善若水。水善利万物而不争,处众人之所恶,故几于道矣。居善地,心善渊,与善仁,言善信,政善治,事善能,动善时。夫惟不争,故无尤。
3 道贵谦卑,下而能上,故曰上善。其上善也,比德于水焉。水之善,能利万物之生,而使万物皆足,无有所争。但水性下流,多处众人之所恶。人虽恶之,究于水无损也。利人而不有其功,以弱为志,水盖几于道矣。
4 人性之善也,当如水性之善焉。秉性谦下,斯举动皆善。无所争心,择居善地,藏心善渊,交与善仁,喜信善信,政称善治,事称善能,动合善时。
5 在在处处,柔善不争。夫惟不争,故无怨尤加之。以视水下犹有人恶,人则有下有上,是更神于道,灵于水矣。
