It is ever so that Tao is certain to be dense and close,
Certain to be broad and expansive,
Certain to be strong and firm.
Preserve the good and never let it go.
Rid yourself of licentiousness and discard frivolity.
Having come to understand its supremacy,
You may return to Tao and its Power. 

When a complete mind lies within, it cannot be concealed.
It may be ascertained from one’s bearing
and observed from one’s complexion.
If you greet men with a good will,
they will become dearer than brothers.
If you greet men with ill will,
they will become more harmful than weapons.
The unvoiced sound may be more startling than a thunder clap.
The manifestations of the mind and the vital force
are more illuminating than the sun and moon,
more discerning than a father mother.
Rewards are not enough to encourage goodness;
punishments are not enough to discipline evil.
But when awareness of the vital force is attained,
the whole world will submit.
When awareness of the mind is firmly rooted,
The whole world will obey.
