Under heaven, all know beauty as beauty, thus is the ugly.
All know good to be good, thus is the-shadow-of-good.
Being and being-without birth one another,
The difficult and the easy complete each other,
Infinity and brevity shape one another,
The highest point is measured against the lowest,
Text and voice harmonize together,
The before allows for the after.
Therefore, the sage-like dwell in matters without action,
Teach without speech,
Ten thousand things grow
And yet, they never begin and never had,
They were reliable without relying,
They achieved without proof or recognition.
They do not need this proof or recognition,
Their proof and recognition lasts forever.
