The way that can be spoken is not the eternal Way.
The name that can be named is not the eternal Name.
Nameless, it is the origin of Heaven and Earth;
Named, it is the mother of all things.
Thus, free from desire, one observes its mystery;
With desire, one observes its manifestations.
These two emerge together but differ in name—
Both are called profound.
Profound and ever more profound,
It is the gateway to all wonders. - Laozi
