"Tao that can be expressed is not Everlasting Tao. The name that can be named is not the Everlasting Name. The Name, in its inner aspect, is Life-Spring of Heaven and Earth. The Name, in its outer aspect, is Mother of all created things. Therefore: To perceive the mystery of Life, desire always to reach the innermost. To perceive the limitations of things, desire always to posses them. These two aspects of Life are One. In their out-come they become different in Name but in their depth they are One. In a depth, still deeper yet, is the Door of many mysteries."
