Chapter 10
第十章
When the intelligent and animal souls are held together in one embrace, they can be kept from separating.
載營(yíng)魄抱一，能無(wú)離乎？
When one gives undivided attention to the (vital) breath, and brings it to the utmost degree of pliancy, he can become as a (tender) babe.
專氣致柔，能如嬰兒乎？
When he has cleansed away the most mysterious sights (of his imagination), he can become without a flaw.
滌除玄覽，能無(wú)疵乎？
In loving the people and ruling the state, cannot he proceed without any (purpose of) action?
愛(ài)民治國(guó)，能無(wú)為乎？
In the opening and shutting of his gates of heaven, cannot he do so as a female bird?
天門開(kāi)闔，能為雌乎？
While his intelligence reaches in every direction, cannot he (appear to) be without knowledge?
明白四達(dá)，能無(wú)知乎？
(The Tao) produces (all things) and nourishes them; it produces them and does not claim them as its own;
生之、畜之、生而不有，
it does all, and yet does not boast of it; it presides over all, and yet does not control them.
為而不恃，長(zhǎng)而不宰，
This is what is called 'The mysterious Quality' (of the Tao).
是謂玄德。
