Tao called Tao is not Tao.
Names can name no lasting
name.
Nameless: the origins of
heaven and earth.
Naming: the mother of ten
thousand things.
Empty of desire; perceive
mystery.
Filled with desire, perceive
manifestations.
These have the same source,
but different names.
Call them both deep –
Deep and again deep:
The gateway to all mystery.
