"The Tao is empty, yet when applied it is never exhausted. So deep it is, it seems to be the ancestor of all things. Blunting sharp edges, resolving confusions, Diffusing glare, uniting the world: Such depth, something seems to exist there. I do not know whose child it is. It seems to have existed before the Ancestor."

"The Tao is empty, yet when applied it is never exhausted. So deep it is, it seems to be the ancestor of all things. Blunting sharp edges, resolving confusions, Diffusing glare, uniting the world: Such depth, something seems to exist there. I do not know whose child it is. It seems to have existed before the Ancestor."

Hungarian

"A Végső Valóság:* üresség; ám benne élve, kimeríthetetlenség… Micsoda mélység! Valódi Ősatya, mely létrehozta a Mindenséget, tompít minden élességet, megszüntet minden homályt, mérsékel minden ragyogást, még a porszemet is egyesíti, mélyére mégsem hatolhat le senki. Nem tudom van-e szülője,** de mint képmás, az ősöknek is Ő az őse."
