Chapter 371 The Tao in its regular course does nothing (for the sake ofdoing it), and so there is nothing which it does not do. 2 If princes and kings were able to maintain it, all things would of themselves be transformed by them. 3 If this transformation became to me an object of desire, I would express the desire by the nameless simplicity. 4 Simplicity without a name Is free from all external aim. With no desire, at rest and still, All things go right as of their will. Previous Home Next |
