第七十三章


勇于敢则杀，勇于不敢则活，
此两者或利或害。
天之所恶，孰知其故？
是以圣人犹难之。
天之道，不争而善胜，不言而善应，
不召而自来，坦然而善谋。
天网恢恢，疏而不失。



Chapter 73


The Tao is always at ease.
It overcomes without competing,
answers without speaking a word,
arrives without being summoned,
accomplishes without a plan.

Its net covers the whole universe.
And though its meshes are wide,
it doesn't let a thing slip through.
