32E
Tao is invariably nameless.
Simple like uncut wood, it seems insignificant
Yet no one in the world can command it.
If kings and lords could follow it
Ten thousand things would salute them,
Heaven and earth would unite
And soft dew would fall.
People would live in harmony
without any need for laws.
Establish a system and categories appear.
When categories abound the classifying must stop.
Those who are able to stop avert trouble.
The Tao of the world is like rivers flowing into the sea.
[A] I used {–choH}ed verbs to indicate a change in state that would happen
if but " kings and lords could follow Tao". However, maybe I don't really
need this suffix here.
