32 道德經:
道常無名。
樸雖小,
1天下莫能臣也。侯王若能守之,萬物將自賓。天地相合,以降甘露,民莫之令而自均。始制有名,名亦既有,夫亦將知止,知止所以不殆。譬道之在天下,猶川谷之與江海。
Dao De Jing:
(The Dao with no name)
The Dao, considered as unchanging, has no name.
Though in its primordial simplicity it may be small, the whole world dares not deal with (one embodying) it as a minister. If a feudal prince or the king could guard and hold it, all would spontaneously submit themselves to him.
Heaven and Earth (under its guidance) unite together and send down the sweet dew, which, without the directions of men, reaches equally everywhere as of its own accord.
As soon as it proceeds to action, it has a name. When it once has that name, (men) can know to rest in it. When they know to rest in it, they can be free from all risk of failure and error.
The relation of the Dao to all the world is like that of the great rivers and seas to the streams from the valleys.

1. 樸雖小, : Inserted. 本章王弼注多言「樸」,據河上公《注》本、馬王堆《老子乙》增。

37 道德經:
道常無為而無不為。侯王若能守之,萬物將自化。化而欲作,吾將鎮之以無名之樸。無名之樸,夫亦將無欲。不欲以靜,天下將自定。
Dao De Jing:
(The exercise of government)
The Dao in its regular course does nothing (for the sake of doing it), and so there is nothing which it does not do.
If princes and kings were able to maintain it, all things would of themselves be transformed by them.
If this transformation became to me an object of desire, I would express the desire by the nameless simplicity.

Simplicity without a name
Is free from all external aim.
With no desire, at rest and still,
All things go right as of their will.

老子河上公章句 - Heshanggong Laozi

1 聖德:
道常無名,道能陰能陽,能弛能張,能存能亡,故無常名也。樸雖小,天下莫能臣也。道樸雖小,微妙無形,天下不敢有臣使道者也。侯王若能守之,萬物將自賓。侯王若能守道無為,萬物將自賓,服從於德也。天地相合,以降甘露,侯王動作能與天相應和,天即降下甘露善瑞也。民莫之令而自均。天降甘露善瑞,則萬物莫有教令之者,皆自均調若一也。始制有名,始,道也。有名,萬物也。道無名能制於有名,無形,能制於有形也。名亦既有,既,盡也。有名之物,盡有情欲,叛道離德,故身毀辱也。夫亦將知之。人能法道行德,天亦將自知之。知之,所以不殆。天知之,則神靈祐助,不復危怠。譬道之在天下,猶川谷之與江海。譬言道之在天下,與人相應和,如川谷與江海相流通也。

1 為政:
道常無為而無不為。道以無為為常也。侯王若能守之,萬物將自化。言侯王若能守道,萬物將自化效於己也。化而欲作,吾將鎮之以無名之樸。吾,身也。無明之樸,道德也。萬物已化效於己也。復欲作巧偽者,侯王當身鎮撫以道德也。無名之樸,夫亦將無欲。不欲以靜,言侯王鎮撫以道德,民亦將不欲,故當以清靜導化之也。天下將自定。能如是者,天下將自正定也。

道恒亡為也,侯王能守之,而萬物將自化。化而欲作,將正之以亡名之樸。夫亦將知,知足以靜,萬物將自定。

道恒亡名,樸,雖細,天地弗敢臣,侯王如能守之,萬物將自賓。天地相合也,以輸甘露。民莫之令而自均焉。始制有名。名亦既有,夫亦將知之,知之所以不殆。譬道之在天下也,猶小谷之與江海。
