21 道德经:
孔德之容,唯道是从。道之为物,唯恍唯惚。忽兮恍兮,其中有象;恍兮忽兮,其中有物。窈兮冥兮,其中有精;其精甚真,其中有信。自古及今,其名不去,以阅衆甫。吾何以知衆甫之状哉?以此。
Dao De Jing:
(The empty heart, or the Dao in its operation)
The grandest forms of active force
From Dao come, their only source.
Who can of Dao the nature tell?
Our sight it flies, our touch as well.
Eluding sight, eluding touch,
The forms of things all in it crouch;
Eluding touch, eluding sight,
There are their semblances, all right.
Profound it is, dark and obscure;
Things' essences all there endure.
Those essences the truth enfold
Of what, when seen, shall then be told.
Now it is so; 'twas so of old.
Its name - what passes not away;
So, in their beautiful array,
Things form and never know decay.
How know I that it is so with all the beauties of existing things? By this (nature of the Dao).

1 虚心:
孔德之容,孔,大也。有大德之人,无所不容,能受垢浊,处谦卑也。唯道是从。唯,独也。大德之人,不随世俗所行,独从于道也。道之为物,唯恍唯忽。道之于万物,独恍忽往来,于其无所定也。忽兮恍兮,其中有象;道唯忽恍无形,之中独有万物法象。恍兮忽兮,其中有物。道唯恍忽,其中有一,经营生化,因气立质。窈兮冥兮,其中有精,道唯窈冥无形,其中有精实,神明相薄,阴阳交会也。其精甚真,言存精气,其妙甚真,非有饰也。其中有信。道匿功藏名,其信在中也。自古及今,其名不去,自,从也。自古至今,道常在不去。以阅众甫,阅,禀也。甫,始也。言道禀与,万物始生,从道受气。吾何以知众甫之然哉。吾何以知万物从道受气。以此。此,今也。以今万物皆得道精气而生,动作起居,非道不然。
