Meeting it there is no front,

Following it there is no back.

Live in the ancient TAO,

Master the existing present,

Understand the source of all things.

This is called the record of TAO.

Shih wei tao chi

15

The ancients who followed TAO:

Dark, wondrous, profound, penetrating,

Wei, miao, hsüan, t’ung,

Deep beyond knowing.

Because they cannot be known,

They can only be described.

Cautious,

Like crossing a winter stream.

Hesitant,

Like respecting one’s neighbors.

Polite,

Like a guest.

Yielding,

Like ice about to melt.

Blank,

Like uncarved wood.

Open,

Like a valley.

Mixing freely,

Like muddy water.
