Chapter Twenty-five – d̬ó foos pe̋nto þı̋ro

  • There is something that contains everything. Before heaven and earth it is. Oh, it still is, unbodied, all on its own, unchanging, all-pervading, ever-moving.

  • So it can act as the mother of all things. Not knowing its real name, we only call it the Way

  • If it must be named, let its name be Great. Greatness means going on, going on means going far, and going far means turning back.

  • So they say: "The Way is great, heaven is great, earth is great, and humankind is great; four greatnesses in the world, and humanity is one of them."

  • People follow earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows the Way, the Way follows what is.
