There is a being,
wonderful, perfect;
It existed before heaven
and earth.
How quiet it is!
How spiritual it is!
It stands alone and it does not change.
It moves around and around, but not on this account suffer.
How quiet it is!
How spiritual it is!
It stands alone and it does not change.
It moves around and around, but not on this account suffer.
All life comes from it.
It wraps everything with its love as in a garment, and yet
It wraps everything with its love as in a garment, and yet
it claims no honor,
it does not demand to be Lord.
I do not know its name,
I do not know its name,
and so I call it Tao.
And
I rejoice in
its
power.
- Lao Tzu
