- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutras
- On the absolute Tao:
- The Tao that can be told of
- Is not the absolute Tao.
- On the rise of relative opposites:
- When the people of the earth all know beauty as beauty,
- There arises (the recognition of) ugliness.
- When the people of the earth all know good as good,
- There arises (the recognition of) evil.
- Therefore:
- Being and non-being interdepend in growth;
- Difficult and easy interdepend in completion;
- Long and short interdepend in contrast;
- High and low interdepend in position;
- Tones and voice interdepend in harmony;
- Front and behind interdepend in company.
- Therefore the sage:
- Manages affairs without action;
- Preaches the doctrine without words;
- All things take their rise,
- But he does not turn away from them;
- He gives them life, but does not take possession of them;
- He acts, but does not appropriate;
- Accomplishes, but claims no credit.
- It is because he lays claim to no credit
- That the credit cannot be taken away from him.
