The
Tao is eternal and not named.
Even though simple and subtle, no one in Heaven below (the sacred
body) can rule over it!
When
all people can sustain it, ten-thousand things (everything) will
naturally honor it as they would honor a guest.
Heaven and Earth are mutually joined and drip with sweet dew.
The people are without laws and are naturally in harmony.
When
rules began, their names emerged.
From their names, exhaustion emerged.
The
master will recognize that in which the mind rests, and knows
that when the mind rests there is no danger.
They
compare this to the Tao's presence in Heaven below.
It resembles the valley streams that become the great rivers that
flow into the sea.
