《问道卷第四 - Asking About the Dao》 | English translation: Jeffrey S. Bullock [?] | Library Resources |
| 3 | 问道卷第... : | 道、德、仁、义、礼，譬诸身乎？夫道以导之，德以得之，仁以人之，义以宜之，礼以体之，天也。合则浑，离则散，一人而兼统四体者，其身全乎！ |
| Asking About the Dao:...: | The Dao, de, ren, yi, and li can be compared to one's body. Now, using the Dao to lead it; using de to complete it; using ren to make it human; using yi to make its behavior appropriate; and using li embody it—this is Tian. If they are united, then the body is complete. If they are separated, then it falls apart. A person whose four limbs work together—his body is complete. |
