The Text

The primal eternal Tao is an unnameable

simplicity.

Though small, there is nothing under all of

heaven that can subjugate it.

If a leader abides by it, all beings are

naturally drawn to him.

Heaven and earth come together in harmony

and sweet rain falls everywhere.

People cooperate voluntarily, without

any instruction.

When this simplicity is divided, every thing

and not-thing needs a name.

Once there are names, the process of distinction should stop.

To know when to stop is to be free from danger.

Tao in the world is like streams flowing into the sea.”
