老子道德經第十章
載營魄抱一 能無離乎
專氣致柔 能嬰兒乎
滌除玄覽 能無疵乎
愛國治民 能無為乎
天門開闔 能為雌乎
明白四達 能無知乎
生之畜之
生而不有 為而不恃 長而不宰
是謂玄德
10.
Can you let body and soul be one,
and never separate?
Can you focus the primal energy and relax,
and be like a baby again?
Can you cleanse the mirror of the heart,
and let it free of dust and stain?
Can you love people, promote peace,
and in reality do nothing?
Can you watch the universe transform,
and keep calm and still?
Can you be sharp, bright, knowing,
and still retain no knowledge, no wisdom?
Let all things go through their own life cycles.
Nourish them, but never interfere;
Guide them, but never claim to be the master.
This, is the highest and farthest Way of Virtue.
