"Great Tao flows everywhere, It extends to the left and to the right. All beings receive It in order to live and be free. It works out perfectness in them although It possesses not a Name. It protects them with love and sustains them, but does not claim to be Ruler of their actions. Always seeking the innermost, you may say that Its Name is in the Small. All beings return again into It, yet It does not claim to be Ruler of their actions. You may say that Its Name is in the Great. That is why, to the end of his life, the self-controlled man is not great in action, Thus he is able to perfect his greatness."
