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
The Dao that can be known by our mind is not the true Dao. The name that can be heard by our ears is not the true name. The world without names creates the dimensions of heaven and earth, while the world with names is the mother of the Ten Thousand Things. Thus, to perceive the mysteries of the world, let your desires fall away. To experience the world of limitations, hold them tight.
