Higher　propriety　is　acting　yet　the　response　of　noone　appears
  Next　comes　grabbing　the　arm　yet　throwing　it　aside。
  So　lose　tao　yet　back　ideal
  Lose　ideal　yet　back　humanity
  Lose　humanity　yet　back　morality
  Lose　morality　yet　back　propriety。
  In　the　end　those　with　propriety
  Have　loyal　belief　without　warmth　yet　the　leader　of　being　confused
  Those　with　knowledge　of　what　comes　next
  The　flower　of　Tao　yet　the　origin　of　being　fooled。
  Appropriately　it　happens　that　the　great　husband
  Dwells　in　what　is　spread　thickly；　not　residing　in　what　lacks　warmth
  Dwells　in　the　fruit；　not　residing　in　the　flower。
  So　detach　from　that；　grab　this。
  39
  From　old　those　which　are　with　one：
  Heavens　with　one；　settling　happens
  Earth　with　one；　a　direction　happens
  Spirit　with　one；　animation　happens
  Valley　with　one；　fullness　happens
  The　10000　things　with　one；　giving　birth　happens
  Nobles　and　kings　with　one；　pure　action　in　the　world　happens。
  These　are　the　results：
  Heavens　absent　of　settling　will；　I　am　afraid；　crack
  Earth　absent　of　direction　will；　I　am　afraid；　shake
  Spirit　absent　of　animation　will；　I　am　afraid；　fall　asleep
  Valley　absent　of　fullness　will；　I　am　afraid；　be　used　up
  The　10000　things　absent　of　giving　birth　will；　I　am　afraid；　die　off
  Nobles　and　kings　absent　of　pure　action　will；　I　am　afraid；　be　set　back。
  So　it　happens　that　the　common　acts　as　a　root　to　the　treasured
  The　lower　acts　as　a　base　to　the　higher。
  Appropriately　it　happens
  That　kings　and　nobles　call　themselves　orphaned；　widowed；　unfavored。
  Does　it　not　happen　that　the　common　acts　as　root　to　the　anomalous？
  Are　not　these　the　same？
  So　incur　praise　absent　of　praising
  Be　without　desiring　to　tinkle；　tinkle；　as　if　jade
  Clatter；　clatter；　as　if　stone。
  40
  That　which　returns　is　tao　moving
  That　which　lessens　is　tao　using。
  The　world；　the　10000　things　give　birth　in　relation　to　presence
  Presence　gives　birth　in　relation　to　absence。
  41
  Better　knights　hear　of　tao
  Dutifully；　yet　they　are　practicing　it
  Average　knights　hear　of　tao
  They　look　aware；　they　look　unaware
  Lesser　knights　hear　of　tao
  They　have　great　laughing。
  Without　laughing；　there's　not　enough　of　the　action　of　tao　happening。
  So　long…established　words　are　present。
  Luminous　tao　looks　dark
  Advancing　tao　looks　like　it　is　falling　back
  Level　tao　looks　uneven
  Better　ideal　looks　like　a　valley
  Great　whiteness　looks　spotted
  Extensive　ideal　looks　like　it　lacks　enough
  Established　ideal　looks　unsteady
  Durable　ideal　looks　changeable
  Great　squares　are　absent　of　corners
  Great　tools　are　slowly　perfected
  Great　music　sounds　faint
  Great　form　lacks　shape。
  Tao　is　hidden；　absent　from　name
  In　the　end；
  Only　tao　values　lending　at　interest　and　moreoverperfects。
  42
  Tao　gives　birth　to　one
  One　gives　birth　to　two
  Two　gives　birth　to　three
  Three　gives　birth　to　the　10000　things。
  All　things　carry　yin　and　embrace　yang
  With　their　blended　animus；　action　in　harmony　happens。
  In　the　time　of　men　they　dislike　orphaned；　widowed；　unfavored
  Yet　kings　and　lords　regard　such　as　praiseworthy。
  Men　have　told　others
  I　also　am　telling
  Those　who　are　striving　and　fierce　die　incomplete。
  I　use　this　as　the　father　of　my　teaching。
  43
  The　most　yielding　reach　of　he　world
  Gallops　around　the　most　rigid　reach　of　the　world
  Absence　of　presence　enters　absence　of　space。
  Appropriately　I　come　to　know
  There　is　presence　of　advantage　in　the　absence　ofacting。
  Telling　without　words
  Advantage　in　the　absence　of　acting
  The　world　rarely　reaches　this。
  44
  Name　or　body；　which　is　more　prized？
  Body　or　wealth；　which　is　more　abundant？
  Obtaining　or　losing；　which　is　the　greater　fault？
  So　appropriately
  Being　very　fond　seeds　great　cost
  What　is　abundantly　stashed　seeds　heavy　loss。
  Know　enough；　lack　disgrace
  Know　to　stop；　lack　danger
  Growth　and　the　long…lasting　can　happen。
  45
  Great　perfection　looks　incomplete
  Used　it　lacks　impairment
  Great　fullness　looks　like　it　needs　more
  Used　it　lacks　exhaustion。
  Great　straightness　looks　bent
  Great　skill　looks　awkward
  Great　eloquence　looks　like　it　stutters。
  Restlessness　conquers　the　cold
  Stillness　conquers　the　heated
  Clarity　and　stillness　act　on　the　world；　ordering　it。
  46
  When　the　world　is　present　with　tao
  It　happens　that　even　galloping　horses　fertilize
  When　the　world　is　absent　of　tao
  War…horses　exist　in　the　suburbs。
  No　calamity　is　greater　than　relating　to　not　knowing　enough
  No　fault　is　greater　than　relating　to　the　desire　to　obtain。
  So　know　the　enough　of　being　enough
  There　is　entirely　enough　to　go　with　each。
  47
  Without　going　out　through　doors　know　the　world
  Without　seeing　out　through　windows　see　the　tao　of　the　heavens
  Who　travels　extremely　far　knows　extremely　little。
  Appropriately　it　happens　that　sages
  Are　without　going　out　yet　know
  Are　without　seeing　out　yet　name
  Are　without　acting　yet　perfect。
  48
  Act　academic；　daily　gain
  Act　tao；　daily　lose。
  Losing；　again　lose
  It　happens；　reaching　relating　to　the　absence　ofacting
  Absence　of　acting　yet　absence　of　being　without　acting。
  Grabbing　the　world；　an　entire　absence　of　effort　happens
  Liking　entirely　the　presence　of　effort
  Is　insufficient　to　precede　grabbing　the　world。
  49
  Sages　are　entirely　absent　of　mind
  It　happens　that　the　mind　of　the　one　hundred　families　acts　as　a　mind。
  Those　who　are　valued　I　am　valuing
  Those　who　lack　value　I　also　am　valuing
  Ideal　valuing。
  Those　who　are　believed　I　am　believing
  Those　who　are　not　believed　I　also　am　believing
  Ideal　believing。
  Sages　in　the　world　inhale
  Inhale；　act；　mix　with　the　mind　of　the　world。
  The　one　hundred　families　concentrate　their　ears　and　eyes
  Sages　are　each　being　children。
  50
  Life　going　out；　death　entering
  There　is　living　following　13
  There　is　dying　following　13。
  The　life　of　man　strives　toward　the　realm　of　death；　also　13。
  Why　is　it　so　in　the　end？
  It　happens；　it　is　life　lived　thickly。
  As　a　fact　it　is　well　known　that　those　skilled　in　preserving　life
  Travel　the　land　without　running　into　rhinos　andtigers
  The　militia　enters　and　the　strategy　is　to　lack　armor。
  The　rhino　is　absent　of　a　place　to　thrust　its　horn
  The　tiger　is　absent　of　a　place　to　affix　its　claw
  The　army　is　absent　of　a　place　to　admit　its　blade。
  Why　is　it　so　in　the　end？
  It　happens；　they　are　absent　of　the　realm　of　death。
  51
  Tao　is　giving　birth
  Ideal　is　raising
  Things　are　embodying
  The　environment　is　perfecting。
  Appropriately　it　happens　that　of　the　10000　things
  None　lack　venerating　tao　yet　treasuring　ideal。
  The　venerability　of　tao；　the　treasurability　of　the　ideal
  In　the　end　it　is　the　command　of　noone　yet　it　isentirely　natural。
  So　tao　is　giving　birth
  Ideal　is　raising
  Growing；　rearing；　balancing；　maturing；　deepening；　enveloping。
  Giving　birth　yet　without　possessing
  Acting　yet　without　relying
  Growing　yet　without　directing
  Appropriately　called　insightful　ideal。
  52
  The　world　is　present　of　an　origin
  It　happens　that　this　acts　as　the　mother　of　the　world。
  Grasp　and　hold　what　is　the　mother
  Knowledge　of　what　is　the　child　happens
  Grasp　knowledge　of　what　is　the　child
  Return；　keep　to　what　is　the　mother
  Till　the　end　the　body　lacks　danger。
  Cork　its　bottle
  Obstruct　its　door
  Eventually　the　body　lacks　straining。
  Open　its　bottle
  Complete　its　effort
  Eventually　the　body　lacks　hope。
  Seeing　the　small　say　luminous
  Keeping　to　yielding　say　strong
  Using　what　is　bright
  Return；　merge　with　what　is　luminous。
  An　absence　of　offering　bodily　misfortune　as　a　gift
  Is　appropriately　called　learning　entirely。
  53
  Supposing　myself　to　have　as　little　knowledge　as　I　do
  I　am　doing　things　relating　to　great　tao
  It　alone　imposes　appropriate　respect。
  Great　tao　is　very　even　yet　people　are　fond　of　byways
  Courts　are　very　divided
  Fields　are　very　weedy
  Granaries　are　very　empty
  Clothes　are　ornamented　and　patterned
  Sharp　swords　are　worn
  Food　and　drink　satiate
  Money　and　goods　are　present　in　surplus。
  Appropriately　called　robbery；　extravagance
  This　way　is　also　not　tao。
  54
  That　which　is　valuably　established　is　not　weeded　out
  That　which　is　valuably　embraced　is　not　shed　off。
  It　happens；　children　and　grandchildren
  Sacrifice　to　ancestors　without　reflection。
  Tending　to　relating　to　the　body
  Its　ideal　will　be　real
  Tending　to　relating　to　the　family
  Its　ideal　will　be　bubbling　over
  Tending　to　relating　to　the　community
  Its　ideal　will
