首页 道家 老子道德经(英译本)Lao Tze

14. Mystery

  looked at but cannot be seen - it is beneath form;

  listened to but cannot be heard - it is beneath sound;

  held but cannot be touched - it is beneath feeling;

  these depthless things evade definition,

  and blend into a single mystery.

  in its rising there is no light,

  in its falling there is no darkness,

  a continuous thread beyond description,

  lining what can not occur;

  its form formless,

  its image nothing,

  its name silence;

  follow it, it has no back,

  meet it, it has no face.

  attend the present to deal with the past;

  thus you grasp the continuity of the way,

  which is its essence.
