Growing　yet　without　directing
  Is　appropriately　called　insightful　ideal。
  11
  Thirty　spokes　converge　at　one　hub
  The　use　of　a　chariot　is　in　the　presence　of　what　is　absent
  Shaping　clay；　it　happens　to　act　as　a　vessel
  The　use　of　a　vessel　is　in　the　presence　of　what　is　absent
  Cutting　doors　and　windows　to　have　it　act　as　a　room
  The　use　of　a　room　is　in　the　presence　of　what　is　absent。
  So
  Where　there　is　presence　beneficial　actions　happen
  Where　there　is　absence　useful　actions　happen。
  12
  Five　colors　blind　the　eye　of　man
  Five　tones　deafen　the　ear　of　man
  Five　flavors　chafe　the　mouth　of　man
  Racing　and　hunting　inspire　the　mind　of　man　to　express　craziness
  Goods　difficult　to　obtain　hamper　the　path　of　man。
  Appropriately　it　happens
  That　sages　act　from　the　center　without　acting　from　the　eyes。
  So　detach　from　that；　grab　this。
  13
  Favor　and　disgrace　look　alarming。
  The　treasure　of　great　danger　looks　like　the　body。
  Why　say　favor　and　disgrace　look　alarming？
  Favor　acts　superior
  Disgrace　acts　inferior
  Being　obtained　it　looks　alarming
  Being　lost　it　looks　alarming
  Appropriately　say　favor　and　disgrace　look　alarming。
  Why　say　the　treasure　of　great　danger　looks　like　the　body？
  I　place　the　occurrence　of　things　of　great　danger
  As　action　of　I　in　the　presence　of　a　body。
  I　reach　the　absence　of　a　body
  I　am　present　with　what　danger？
  Appropriately　say　the　treasure　of　great　danger　looks　like　the　body。
  So　treasuring　it　when　the　body　acts　in　the　world
  It　looks　like　one　can　be　committed　to　the　world。
  Being　fond　of　it　when　the　body　acts　in　the　world
  It　looks　like　one　can　be　entrusted　to　the　world。
  14
  Being　observed；　lacking　sight
  Say　the　name　smooth
  Being　listened　to；　lacking　hearing
  Say　the　name　rare
  Being　pounced　on；　lacking　obtainment
  Say　the　name　small。
  That　which　these　three　describes　cannot　be　resolved
  So　they　mingle　yet　act　as　one。
  What　is　high　lacks　brightness
  What　is　low　lacks　darkness
  Restrictions　and　restraints　cannot　be　named
  Return；　merge　with；　relate　to　the　absence　of　things。
  It　is　an　appropriate　action　to　call　it
  The　absence　of　being　shape's　shape
  The　absence　of　being　thing's　form。
  It　is　appropriately　called　ungraspable；　elusive
  Moving　toward　it　there　is　no　seeing　a　head
  Following　it　there　is　no　seeing　a　tail。
  Holding　the　tao　of　the　ancients
  Warding　off　presence　of　the　now　happens
  The　ability　to　know　the　ancient　beginnings
  Is　appropriately　called　a　bond　to　tao。
  15
  Those　ancients　who　valued　action　in　the　tao
  Were　insightful；　versatile；　far…reaching；　coherent。
  Penetrating；　one　cannot　understand
  In　the　end　it　is　only　that　one　cannot　understand
  So　there　is　more　than　appears　to　their　actions。
  So　resigned；　like　fording　a　river　in　winter
  Just　so；　like　respecting　all　four　neighbors
  So　reserved；　like　making　an　appearance
  So　melting；　like　ice　halfway　released
  So　genuine；　like　their　true　nature
  So　spacious；　like　a　valley
  So　well　mixed；　like　muddy　water。
  Who　is　able　to　gently　calm　muddy　water；　clearing　it？
  Who　is　able　to　endure　gently　stirring　tranquillity　so　it　gives　birth？
  Those　who　maintain　this　tao　have　no　desire　for　fullness
  In　the　end　only　lack　fullness
  So　be　able　to　be　shabby　yet　perfect　the　new。
  16
  Taking　emptiness　to　the　limit
  Observing　stillness　genuinely
  Regarding　the　10000　things　as　side…by…side
  It　happens　that　I　view　the　return。
  In　the　end　things　grow　and　flourish
  Each　returns；　merging　with　its　root。
  Merging　with　the　root；　say　still
  Appropriately　it　is　called　returning　to　giving　birth。
  Returning　to　giving　birth；　say　entireness
  Knowing　entireness　say　illuminated
  Without　knowing　entireness　presumptuously　do　the　faminous。
  Knowing　entireness　is　tolerance
  Tolerance　leads　to　impartiality
  Impartiality　leads　to　kingliness
  Kingliness　leads　to　the　heavens
  The　heavens　lead　to　tao
  Tao　leads　to　what　is　long…lasting。
  Be　without　a　body；　lack　danger。
  17
  The　very　highest；　little　knowledge　is　present　of　it
  That　next　is　attached　to　yet　praised
  That　next　is　respected
  That　next　is　despised。
  Where　there　is　belief　without　enough　within
  A　lack　of　believing　what　is　within　is　present。
  So　remote；　those　treasure　words
  Outstanding　service　performed；　efforts　successful
  the　one　hundred　families　say
  We　did　it　naturally。
  18
  Great　tao　discarded；　a　presence　of　humanity；　morality
  Wisdom　and　intelligence　come　out；　a　presence　of　great　pretense
  Families　lack　harmony；　a　presence　of　filial　devotion　and　mothering
  The　nation's　emperor　blinded；　confused；　a　presence　of　loyal　servants。
  19
  Break　away　from　sageliness；　toss　out　wisdom
  People　benefit　one　hundred　times　over
  Break　away　from　humanity；　toss　out　morality
  People　return　to　filial　devotion　and　mothering
  Break　away　from　valuing；　toss　out　profit
  Thieves　and　robbers　are　not　in　existence。
  These　three　used　as　a　basis　for　action　are　ornament；　insufficient。
  So　make　present　what　principles？
  See　plainness
  Embrace　true　nature
  Reduce　self…interest
  Limit　desires。
  20
  Break　off　from　studying；　there　is　an　absence　of　grief。
  Being　individual　or　pandering　to　each　other
  How　do　these　differ？
  Valuing　or　hating　each　other
  What　is　the　difference？
  It　looks　like　one　cannot　lack　respect　for　what　others　put　respect　in
  Such　reckless　desertion！
  It　is　not　yet　centered；　this　way。
  Collective　mind　is　bright　and　sunny；　gay　and　prosperous
  Like　enjoying　a　sacrificial　ox
  Like　ascending　a　tower　in　springtime。
  The　self　alone；　so　moored！
  is　not　yet　divined　on　the　tortoise…shell
  Like　being　a　baby…child　before　it　smiles。
  Unattached；　so　unattached
  The　self　looks　absent　of　a　place　to　merge。
  In　the　collective　mind　each　is　present　of　a　surplus
  Yet　the　self　alone　appears　to　offer　as　a　gift。
  The　self　is　foolish；　men's　minds　are　also　this　way
  Unclear；　so　unclear。
  Customs　of　men　are　clear；　obvious
  The　self　alone　is　dark；　indistinct
  Customs　of　men　are　curious；　scrutinizing
  The　self　alone　is　tightly　closed；　shut　off。
  So　indifferent；　it　looks　like　the　ocean
  Such　a　gusty　wind；　it　looks　ceaseless。
  In　the　collective　mind　each　possesses　a　cause
  Yet　the　self　alone　seems　stubborn　and　rustic
  The　self　alone　differs　from　relating　to　men
  Yet　treasures　nourishment　in　relating　to　the　mother。
  21
  An　aperture　is　the　appearance　of　the　ideal
  Only　tao　is　appropriately　followed。
  The　action　of　tao　on　things；
  Only　elusive；　only　ungraspable。
  So　ungraspable；　so　elusive
  At　its　center；　the　presence　of　form
  So　elusive；　so　ungraspable
  At　its　center；　the　presence　of　things
  So　secluded；　so　hard　to　see
  At　its　center；　the　presence　of　belief。
  From　ancient　times　reaching　into　the　present　its　name　does　not　depart
  Experience　of　the　collective　beginning　happens。
  Why　do　I　happen　to　know　the　shape　of　the　collective　beginning　is　this　way？
  It　just　happens。
  22
  Flexibility；　then　comes　wholeness
  Being　twisted；　then　comes　straightness
  Emptiness；　then　comes　fullness
  Shabbiness；　then　comes　newness
  Scarcity；　then　comes　obtainment
  Abundance；　then　comes　perplexity。
  Appropriately　it　happens　that　sages
  Embrace　oneness
  Act　as　the　model　of　the　world
  Are　not　showing　themselves　so　they　are　luminous
  Are　not　justifying　themselves　so　they　are　conspicuous
  Are　not　boasting　of　themselves　so　outstanding　service　is　performed
  Are　not　bragging　of　themselves　so　they　grow
  In　the　end　only　lack　contending
  So　noone　in　the　world　is　able　to　be　contending　with　them。
  In　ancient　times　there　was　a　saying；
  That　which　is　flexible　becomes　whole。
  How　can　these　be　empty　words？
  The　essence；　whole　yet　being　merged　together。
  23
  Rare　words　are　natural。
  So　the　fluttering　winds　do　not　last　all　morning
  The　sudden　rainstorm　does　not　last　all　day。
  Who　is　it　that　acts　this　way？
  Heavens　and　earth。
  Heavens　and　earth　still　lack　the　ability　for　longevity
  Yet　what　relates　to　men　is　equal　to　this　state　ofthings？
  So　follow　effort　in　things　related　to　tao
  Be　together　with　relating　to　tao
  Follow　effort　in　things　related　to　the　ideal
  Be　together　with　relating　to　the　ideal
  Follow　effort　in　things　related　to　losing
  Be　together　with　relating　to　losing。
  What　is　together　with　things　related　to　tao
  Tao　also　obtains　joyfully
  What　is　together　with　things　related　to　the　ideal
  The　ideal　also　obtains　joyfully
  What　is　together　with　things　related　to　losing
  Losing　also　obtains　joyfully。
  Belief　without　enough　within
  A　lack　of　belief　i
