| There is something that is perfect in its disorder Which is born before Heaven and Earth. So silent and desolate! It establishes itself without renewal. Functions universally without lapse. We can regard it as the Mother of Everything. I don't know its name. Hence, when forced to name it, I call it "Tao." When forced to categorize it, I call it "great." Greatness entails transcendence. Transcendence entails going-far. Going-far entails return. Hence, Tao is great, Heaven is great, the Earth is great And the human is also great. Within our realm there are four greatnesses and the human being is one of them. Human beings follow the Earth. Earth follows Heaven Heaven follows the Tao The Tao follows the way things are. |
