Favour and disgrace —
both bring fear.
Honour and calamity —
both come from caring too much about the self.

What does this mean?

To be favoured is to fear losing it.
To be disgraced is to already have lost it.
Both bind you to fear.

Why are honour and disaster alike?
Because they depend on the self.
If I had no self,
what misfortune could harm me?

So if you can care for the world
as you care for your own body,
you are worthy to lead.
If you love the world
as you love your own life,
you are fit to serve it.
