11 下德:
老子曰:雷霆之声可以钟鼓象也,风雨之变可以音律知也,大可睹者,可得而量也,明可见者,可得而蔽也,声可闻者,可得而调也,色可察者,可得而别也。夫至大,天地不能函也,至微,神明不能见也,及至建律历,别五色,异清浊,味甘苦,即朴散而为器矣。立仁义,修礼乐,即德迁而为伪矣。民饰智以惊愚,设诈以攻上,天下有能持之,而未能有治之者也。夫智能弥多,而德滋衰,是以至人淳朴而不散。夫至人之治,虚无寂寞,不见可欲,心与神处,形与性调,静而体德,动而理通,循自然之道,缘不得已矣。漠然无为而天下和,淡然无欲而民自朴,不忿争而财足,求者不得,受者不让,德反归焉,而莫之惠。不言之辩,不道之道,若或通焉,谓之天府。取焉而不损,酌焉而不竭,莫知其所求由,谓之摇光,摇光者,资粮万物者也。
