"Tao is always inactive.* But it leaves nothing undone.** If dukes and kings can keep it, Then all things will be naturally transformed. If transformation raises desires, I would suppress them with nameless simplicity.*3* Nameless simplicity means being without desires.*4* Being without desires and with tranquility, The world will keep peace by itself."
