is not the eternal Tao
The name that can be spoken
is not the eternal Name.
The nameless is the boundary of Heaven
and Earth.
The named is the mother of creation.
Freed from desire, you can see the hidden
mystery.
By having desire, you can only see what is
visibly real.
Yet mystery and reality
emerge from the same source.
This source is called darkness.
Darkness born from darkness.
The beginning of all understanding.
- Tao Te Ching, Chapter 1
- Lao Tzu
