第四十三章


天下之至柔，
驰骋天下之至坚。
无有入无间，
吾是以知无为之有益。
不言之教，无为之益，天下稀及之。



Chapter 43


The gentlest thing in the world
overcomes the hardest thing in the world.
That which has no substance
enters where there is no space.
This shows the value of non-action.

Teaching without word,
performing without actions:
that is the Master's way.
