"The Tao, eternally nameless Its simplicity, although imperceptible Cannot be treated by the world as subservient If a sovereign can hold on to it All will follow by themselves The heaven and earth, together harmoniously Will rain sweet dew People won't need to force it, it will adjust by itself In the beginning of creation, there were names Names came to exist everywhere One should know when to stop Knowing when to stop, thus avoiding danger The existence of the Tao in the world Is like streams in the valley into rivers and the ocean"
