Chapter 48
第四十八章
He who devotes himself to learning (seeks) from day to day to increase (his knowledge);
為學(xué)日益,
he who devotes himself to the Tao (seeks) from day to day to diminish (his doing).
為道日損,
He diminishes it and again diminishes it, till he arrives at doing nothing (on purpose).
損之又損,以至于無為。

Having arrived at this point of non-action, there is nothing which he does not do.
無為而無不為,
He who gets as his own all under heaven does so by giving himself no trouble (with that end).
取天下常以無事;
If one take trouble (with that end), he is not equal to getting as his own all under heaven.
及其有事,不足以取天下。
