When you help, tell dar
kness
When you advise, tell darkness
When you reach great acts of generosity, tell darkness
If you achieve great peace, tell darkness
Make it your friend
No one else may understand you
Your good deeds have no friends
Even yourself can take them wrongly
The more you quiet
The greater your acts become
The more you hide
The more shinny they become
Don't deceive yourself
Saying you are good
The more light you let yourself acquire
The farther you are to achieve its essence
Hide, don't tell, quiet
Don't deceive yourself
The more darkness is around your achievements
The more lightly they will become
When you make darkness your confidant
It cannot stand the glaring power
And all around becomes light
