Dao De Jing: Chapter 4


The Dao De Jing is one of the world's classics. If you click on the title of this post, you'll be directed to a online version of the complete Dao De Jing.

The Tao is like an empty container:
it can never be emptied and can never be filled.
Infinitely deep, it is the source of all things.
It dulls the sharp, unties the knotted,
shades the lighted, and unites all of creation with dust.

It is hidden but always present.
I don't know who gave birth to it.
It is older than the concept of God.
