Understanding the mystery

The Tao that can be named is not the eternal Tao.

The name that can be pronounced is not the eternal name.

Without a name, it is the beginning of Heaven and Earth.

With a name, she is the mother of all beings.

Contemplate without dwelling on the mysteries of the Tao.

Absorb his appearance ardently.

Both the mysteries and the appearance have the same origin,

but in a different name; they are both enigmatic.

The great mystery is the door to all mysteries.
