  Therefore:
  Constantly without desire; thereby observe the mystery。
  Constantly with desire; thereby observe the boundaries。

  Those which these two are produced by
  Are the same but named differently。

  The abstraction of calling them the same
  The abstraction upon abstraction?br》 
  The gateway to a host of mysteries。

  2

  Everyone in the world knows the being of beautiful to be beautiful。
  Thus is ugliness completed。
  Everyone knows the being of good to be good。
  Thus is evil completed。

  Therefore:
  Being and non…being give birth to each other。
  Difficulty and ease complete each other。
  Long and short form each other。
  High and low lean on each other。
  Notes and music harmonize each other。
  Forward and behind follow each other。

  Therefore; the sages reside in the function of 搉on…action?br》 And practice the teaching of no words。
  The ten…thousand things work in many senses and are not dismissed。

  Create but do not possess。
  Act but do not presume。
  Achieve goals but do not dwell on them。
  It抯 only because one does not dwell on success

  That success therefore does not leave。

  3

  Not to esteem the worthy
  Causes the people not to contend。
  Not to value goods that are hard to get
  Causes the people not to do any stealing。
  Not to see desirables
  Causes the people抯 minds not to be confused。

  Therefore; the governance of the sages:
  Empties their minds
  Makes true their insides
  Weakens their determinations
  Strengthens their bones
  Always causing the people not to know
  Not to desire
  Causing the clever men not to dare to act!

  By doing without 揹oing?br》 There is necessarily nothing not managed。

  4

  The Tao washes away and drinks them; possibly never getting full。
  An abyss?it seems to be the ancestor of the ten…thousand things

  Blunting their sharpness
  Loosening their tangles
  Harmonizing their lights
  Equating their dust

  Deep? it seems as though possibly alive。
  The child of I…don抰…know…who。

  It shaped the foremost among the gods。

  5

  Heaven and Earth are not humane
  For the ten…thousand things are taken to be straw dogs。
  Sages are not humane
  For the hundred clans are taken to be straw dogs。

  The space between Heaven and Earth?br》 Its similarity to bellows and flutes?
  Empty but not exhausted。
  Use it and more and more is produced。

  With too many words and ideas is distress。

  This is not as good as staying in the middle。

  6

  The valley spirit un…dying
  Is called the mystic female。
  The opening of the mystic female
  Is called the root of Heaven and Earth。
  It endlessly; ceaselessly seems to exist。

  Use it inattentively。

  7

  Heaven is long…lasting; the Earth is old。
  Heaven and Earth are placed
  By that which can last long and be old。
  Because they do not live for themselves
  Is the reason they can live long。

  Therefore; the sages
  Put their bodies behind
  And yet their bodies go forward。
  Are outside their bodies
  And yet their bodies exist。
  Do not consider this selflessness to be wrong

  For it is the reason they can complete their 搒elves。?br》
  8

  The highest good is like unto water。
  Water is good at benefiting the ten…thousand things
  And does not contend。
  It dwells in the places the masses of people detest?br》 For which reason a few compare 'it' with the Tao。

  Dwellings are perfected by the earth。
  The heart is perfected by depth。
  Giving is perfected by benevolence。
  Speaking is perfected by sincerity。
  Uprightness is perfected by governance。
  Function is perfected by ability。
  Change is perfected by time。

  Only because one does not contend
  Is the reason one is without reproach。

  9

  Grasping and filling梩hese are not as good as one抯 own self。
  Calculations and vigorousness梩hese cannot defend for long。
  Gold and jewels that fill a hall梟one can guard them。

  The wealthy are high…ranking but arrogant。
  Abandoning themselves is their downfall。

  Achievement: Escape the body; withdraw 'to'

  The Way of Heaven。

  10

  Filling and operating Life; embracing the One
  Can one be without departing 'from it'?
  Focusing ch抜; bringing about softness
  Can one be like a newborn child?
  Washing away divisions; mystically perceiving
  Can one be flawless?
  Loving the kingdom; governing the people
  Can one do it without 揹oing?it?
  The Heavenly Door opens; closes
  Can one be receptive?
  Brightening; purifying the four intelligences
  Can one be without knowing?

  Give birth to them。 Rear them。

  Giving birth 'to them' but not possessing 'them'
  Acting 'with them' but not presuming 'them'
  Excelling 'with them' but not dominating 'with them'?br》 
  This is called Mystic Virtue。

  11

  Thirty spokes joining together at one hub of a wheel:
  Accepting its emptiness
  There is the use of the cart。

  Shaping clay in order to make a vessel:
  Accepting its emptiness
  There is the use of the vessel。

  Chiseling doors and windows in order to make a room:
  Accepting its emptiness
  There is the use of the room。

  Therefore; having them is considered as being beneficial。
  Lacking them is considered as being useful。

  12

  The five colors make people抯 eyes blind。
  The five tones make people抯 ears deaf。
  The five flavors make people抯 mouths lose 'their tasting ability'。
  Hurrying; rushing; hunting; and chasing
  Make people抯 minds issue forth insanity。
  Goods that are hard to get cause people抯 doings to harm。

  Therefore; the sages
  Act by the insides; not by the eyes。

  Therefore; let go of that
  And take up this。

  13

  Favor and disgrace seem like a surprise。
  Value great suffering as you would 'keeping' your own body。

  What is the meaning of 揊avor and disgrace seem like a surprise?
  Favor 'eventually' declines。
  Getting it is like a surprise。
  Losing it is like a surprise。
  This is the meaning of 揊avor and disgrace seem like a surprise。?br》 
  What is the meaning of
  揤alue great suffering as you would 'keeping' you own body?
  Our place; according to those who have great suffering;
  Is our having a body。

  When we lack bodies
  What suffering do we have?

  Therefore; value the 搒elf?that抯 considered as being the world
  As though you are able to be entrusted with the world。
  Love the 搒elf?that抯 considered as being the world
  As though you are able to rely on the world。

  14

  Inspect it and you will not see it。
  Its name is said to be 揟he Obscure。?br》 Listen for it and you will not hear it。
  Its name is said to be 揃ecoming Silent。?br》 Roll it around in your hands and you will not obtain it。
  Its name is said to be 揟he Subtle。?br》 
  Those who are not able to achieve these three ask?br》 This is the reason they are blended and handled as one:

  At its ascending; not bright。
  At its descending; not dark。
  The measure of measure; it cannot be named。
  Repeatedly returning to 搉o…thing…ness?br》 It is called 揟he Form of No…Form?br》 揟he Shape of No…thing…ness。?br》 
  It is called
  揟he Indistinct?br》 揟he Unclear?br》 
  Greet it and you will not see its face。
  Follow it and you will not see its back。

  Hold to the Tao of the Ancients
  In order to tame the existence of present times。

  One can know the ancient beginning。
  It is called the 揟ao Epoch。?br》
  15

  Those of old who were good at being warriors
  Were subtly; wonderfully; mystically in communication
  With profundities that can抰 be fathomed。
  Precisely because 'the ancient warriors' can抰 be fathomed
  Is the reason one is forced to take them by appearances:

  Cautious?as if in winter; crossing a stream
  Strategizing?as if they feared their own four neighbors。
  Dignified?they seemed forgiving。
  Scattered?like ice floes about to break apart。
  Honest?they seemed plain and simple。
  Free from worries and petty ideas?they seemed 'as open' as a valley。
  'Apparently' acting without a plan?they seemed muddled。
  Calm?they seemed like the ocean。
  Like wind in the mountains?they seemed to be without stagnation。

  Who can; in muddiness; use the gradual purification of stillness?
  Who can; in serenity; use the gradual arising of movement?

  They who hold to this Tao do not desire to overflow。
  It抯 only by not overflowing

  That one can therefore be shielded
  And newly made。

  16

  Bring about emptiness to the extreme。
  Guard true stillness。
  The ten…thousand things rise together。
  I therefore observe their return:

  Those ten…thousand plants梕ach plant梤eturns
  Going back to its root。
  Going back to the root is said to be stillness。
  This is called returning to life。
  Returning to life is called the Constant。
  Understanding the Constant is called clarity。

  Not understanding the Constant:
  Reckless actions梞isfortune。

  Understanding the Constant; forgive。
  Forgive; then be unbiased。
  Be unbiased; then be whole。
  Be whole; then be Heaven。
  Be Heaven; then be Tao。
  Be Tao; then be eternal。

  Not having a body; there is no danger。

  17

  The highest superiors?br》 People below them 'merely' know they have them。
  The next highest梡eople below them love and praise them。
  The next highest梡eople below them fear them。
  The next highest梡eople below them insult them。

  Where trust is insufficient
  There is distrust。

  So gentle; 'the sage' values their words。
  'And so when' their achievements are completed
  And their work is successful
  The hundred clans all proclaim
  揥e are naturally like this!?br》
  18

  When the great Tao is abandoned
  There exists humaneness and righteousnes
