"Tao is always without a name. Small as it may be in its original uniqueness, It is inferior to no power in the world. If a ruler can cleave to it, All beings will pay homage to him. Heaven and earth mingle in harmony and a sweet liquor rains down. Without command from above peace and order spread among the people. With the genesis of the world, names appeared. There are so many names, is it not time to stop? Knowing when to stop is to be free from danger. Tao is to the world as a valley or brook is to a river or ocean."
