She has but doesn't possess, acts but doesn't expect. When her work is done, she forgets it. That is why it lasts forever.


Things arise and she lets them come; things disappear and she lets them go.


Therefore the Master acts without doing anything and teaches without saying anything.


High and low depend on each other. Before and after follow each other.


Being and non-being create each other. Difficult and easy support each other. Long and short define each other.


When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly. When people see some things as good, other things become bad.


Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding.


Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source. This source is called darkness.


Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.


The unnamable is the eternally real. Naming is the origin of all particular things.


The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal Name.


These have the same source, but different names. Call them both deep - Deep and again deep: the gateway to all mystery.


Empty of desire, perceive mystery. Filled with desire, perceive manifestations.


Nameless: the origin of heaven and earth. Naming: the mother of ten thousand things.


Tao called Tao is not Tao. Names can name no lasting name.


The Tao nourishes by not forcing. By not dominating, the Master leads.


The Master has no possessions. The more he does for others, the happier he is. The more he gives to others, the wealthier he is.


Wise men don't need to prove their point; men who need to prove their point aren't wise.


True words aren't eloquent; eloquent words aren't true.


they are content to die of old age without ever having gone to see it.
