One who embraces Tao will become pure and innocent like a newborn babe Deadly insects will not sting him Wild beasts will not attack him Birds of prey will not strike him He is oblivious to the union of male and female yet his vitality is full his inner spirit is complete He can cry all day without straining so perfect is his harmony so magically does he blend with this world
Know this harmony—it brings the Eternal Know the Eternal—it brings enlightenment
A full life—this is your blessing A gentle heart—this is your strength
Things in harmony with the Tao remain Things that are forced, grow for a while but then wither away This is not Tao Whatever is not Tao comes to an early end
