The Tao that can b1e told is not the eternal Tao;
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth;
The named is the mother of the ten thousand things.
Ever desireless, one can see the mystery;
Ever desiring, one can see the manifestations.
These two spring from the same source but differ in name;
This appears as darkness.
Darkness within darkness.
The gate to all mystery.
