夫子問於老聃曰：	The Master asked Lao Dan, saying,
「有人治道若相放，	'Some men regulate the Dao (as by a law), which they have only to follow
可不可，	- (a thing, they say,) is admissible or it is inadmissible;
然不然。	it is so, or it is not so.
辯者有言曰：	(They are like) the sophists who say
『離堅白若縣宇。』	that they can distinguish what is hard and what is white as clearly as if the objects were houses suspended in the sky.
若是，則可謂聖人乎？」	Can such men be said to be sages?'
老聃曰：	The reply was,
「是胥易技係，	'They are like the busy underlings of a court,
勞形怵心者也。	who toil their bodies and distress their minds with their various artifices
執留之狗成思，	- dogs, (employed) to their sorrow to catch the yak,
猿狙之便自山林來。	or monkeys that are brought from their forests (for their tricksiness).
丘！	Qiu,
予告若，	I tell you this
而所不能聞與而所不能言。	- it is what you cannot hear, and what you cannot speak of:
凡有首、有趾、無心、無耳者眾，	Of those who have their heads and feet, and yet have neither minds nor ears, there are multitudes;
有形者與無形無狀而皆存者盡無。	while of those who have their bodies, and at the same time preserve that which has no bodily form or shape, there are really none.
其動，止也；其死，生也；其廢，起也。此又非其所以也。	It is not in their movements or stoppages, their dying or living, their falling and rising again, that this is to be found.
有治在人，	The regulation of the course lies in (their dealing with) the human element in them.
忘乎物，	When they have forgotten external things,
忘乎天，	and have also forgotten the heavenly element in them,
其名為忘己。	they may be named men who have forgotten themselves.
忘己之人，是之謂入於天。	The man who has forgotten himself is he of whom it is said that he has become identified with Heaven.
