道可道，非常道，名可名，非常名。無名，天地之始，有 名，萬物之母。
故常無欲以觀其 妙，常有欲以觀其徼。此兩者同出而異名，同謂之玄，玄之又玄，眾妙之門。
道可道，非常道。 名可名，非常名。
dào kě dào, fēi cháng dào. míng kě míng, fēi cháng míng.
无，名天地之始。有，名万物之母。
wú míng tiān dì zhī shĭ. yŏu míng wàn wù
zhī mŭ.
故常无，欲以观其妙。 常有，欲以观其徼。gù cháng wú yù yĭ guān qí miào. cháng yŏu yù yĭ guān qí jiăo.
此两者同出而异名。
cĭ liăng zhě tóng chū ér yì míng.
同谓之玄,玄之又玄，众妙之门。tóng wèi zhī xuán, xuán zhī yòu xuán, zhòng miào
zhī mèn.
A Dào that you could explain would not be the timeless Dào. Concepts which you can conceive are no timeless concepts. The beginning of the world is inconceivable, conceivable only as the myriad thing’s origin. Therefore: Free of permanent desire, so you behold the internal secret; with permanent desire, you behold the outer charm. Both aspects result from one and are just named differently, their common origin, however, remains unfathomable: unfathomable and even more unfathomable – the Gate to all mysteries.
