Therefore, if a person always maintains a quiet and desireless state of mind, he can deeply observe the subtleties of all things in heaven and earth; If we have constant desires, we can only see what is on the surface of heaven and earth. Space and matter appear at the same time and have different names, and they are both mysterious. That mysterious and far-reaching extreme place is where all things in heaven and earth are produced.
Original text: Dao, Kedao, very Dao. Name, name, name.
Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth; Famous, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is often no desire, in order to observe its wonder; There is always desire, in order to observe it. These two have the same name and the same name, and they are the same mysteries.
Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders.
2. Translation of Chapter 2: If everyone in the world understands that beautiful things are beautiful, then ugly things are exposed; We all know that good deeds are good, then unkind deeds are revealed. Existence and non-existence arise from mutual opposition, and difficulty and ease arise from mutual correspondence.
Thus, long and short appear in comparison with each other, high and low exist in interdependence, sound harmony in harmony with each other, and precedent and posterior in contrast. Therefore, what the saints do is to go with the flow and not advocate artificiality. The education of a saint is to conform to the hearts of the people without advocating the edification of words, to allow all things to grow without restricting them, to give birth to all things without taking them for themselves, to help all things without relying on them, and to establish merit without arrogance.
Because you don't take credit, you don't lose anything.
Original text: The world knows that beauty is beauty, and evil is evil; We all know that what is good is good, and what is not good is not good. There is no symbiosis, difficulty and ease are mutually compatible, long and short are dwarfed, high and low are mutually beneficial, sound and sound are harmonious, and they follow each other.
It is to do what the saint does not do, and he teaches without words. All things are made, and they are born, they are born, they are born Fu Wei Fuju is not going to go.
3. Translation of Chapter 3: Those who do not respect the virtuous and powerful, so that the people do not compete for fame; do not treasure valuables, so that the people will not be thieves and take profits; Do not reveal those things that can arouse greed and selfish desires, so that the minds of the people will not be mixed and confused. Therefore, the way of the sages to govern the country is:
Reduce the anxiety of the people so that they can be fed and clothed, weaken the people's desires and strengthen their physique. Forever the people will be deprived of knowledge and desire, and those who are wise will not dare to do things at will. If you implement the policy of non-action, the world will be stable and peaceful.
Original text: The people are not quarreled with the virtuous; Inexpensive and rare goods keep the people from being robbed; If you don't see it, you can make the people's hearts not confused. It is the rule of the saints:
Empty its heart, solid its belly; Weak ambition, strong bones. He often makes the people ignorant and desireless. The man who knows the husband does not dare to do it.
If you do nothing, you will not be cured.
For young people, the enlightenment of the Tao Te Ching is that you must have your own values and outlook on life, and think clearly about what you should do in this life, so as to be worthy of this life, which is your life's "Tao" and your life's "nothing". The Tao Te Ching begins with the words, "Nothing, the beginning of heaven and earth"; The Tao Te Ching also says, "All things in the world are born from being, and some are born from nothing." The intangible is always more powerful, more reliable, and closer to the essence than the tangible. >>>More
