| Carrying body and soul and embracing the one, |
| Can you avoid separation? |
|
| Attending fully and becoming supple, |
| Can you be as a newborn babe? |
|
| Washing and cleaning the primal vision, |
| Can you be without stain? |
|
| Loving all men and ruling the country, |
| Can you be without cleverness? |
|
| Opening and closing the gates of heaven, |
| Can you play the role of woman? |
|
| Understanding and being open to all things, |
| Are you able to do nothing? |
|
| Giving birth and nourishing, |
|
| Bearing yet not possessing, |
|
| Working yet not taking credit, |
|
| Leading yet not dominating, |
|
| This is the Primal Virtue. Lao Tsu |
