When people see some things as beautiful,
other things become ugly.
When people see some things as good,
other things become bad.
Being and non-being create each other.
Difficult and easy support each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low depend on each other.
Before and after follow each other.
Therefore the Master
acts without doing anything
and teaches without saying anything.
Things arise and she lets them come;
things disappear and she lets them go.
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.
He who is in harmony with the Tao
is like a newborn child.
Its bones are soft, its muscles are weak,
but its grip is powerful.
It doesn't know about the union
of male and female,
yet its penis can stand erect,
so intense is its vital power.
It can scream its head off all day,
yet it never becomes hoarse,
so complete is its harmony.
The Master's power is like this.
He lets all things come and go
effortlessly, without desire.
He never expects results;
thus he is never disappointed.
He is never disappointed;
thus his spirit never grows old.

The gentlest thing in the world
overcomes the hardest thing in the world.
That which has no substance
enters where there is no space.
This shows the value of non-action.
Teaching without words,
performing without actions:
that is the Master's way.
Когда все в Поднебесной узнают, что прекрасное является прекрасным,
появляется и безобразное.
Когда все узнают, что доброе является добром, возникает и зло.
Поэтому бытие и небытие порождают друг друга, трудное и легкое создают друг друга, длинное и короткое взаимно соотносятся, высокое и низкое взаимно определяются, звуки, сливаясь, приходят в гармонию,
предыдущее и последующее следуют друг за другом.
Поэтому совершенномудрый, совершая дела, предпочитает недеяние; осуществляя
учение, не прибегает к словам; вызывая изменения вещей, [он] не осуществляет их сам; создавая, не обладает [тем, что создано]; приводя в движение, не прилагает к этому усилий; успешно завершая [что-либо], не
гордится.
Поскольку он не гордится, его заслуги не могут быть отброшены.
The Tao doesn't take sides;
it gives birth to both good and evil.
The Master doesn't take sides;
she welcomes both saints and sinners.
The Tao is like a bellows:
it is empty yet infinitely capable.
The more you use it, the more it produces;
the more you talk of it, the less you understand.
Hold on to the center.
Figure out the rhythm of life and live in harmony with it.
Lao TzuWho can (make) the muddy water (clear)?
Lao TzuLet it be still, and it will gradually become clear.
Lao Tzua skillful soldier is not violent, an able fighter does not rage, a mighty conqueror does not give battle, a great commander is a humble man
Lao TzuThe path into the light seems dark, the path forward seems to go back, the direct path seems long.
