声音简介

第十四章

视之不见名曰夷，
听之不闻名曰希，
搏之不得名曰微。
此三者，不可致诘，故混而为一。
其上不皦，其下不昧。
绳绳不可名，复归于无物。
是谓无状之状，无物之象，
是谓惚恍。
迎之不见其首，随之不见其后。
执古之道，以御今之有。
能知古始，是谓道纪。

Chapter 14

Look, and it can't be seen.
Listen, and it can't be heard.
Reach, and it can't be grasped.

Above, it isn't bright.
Below, it isn't dark.
Seamless, unnamable,
it returns to the realm of nothing.
Form that includes all forms,
image without an image,
subtle, beyond all conception.

Approach it and there is no beginning;
follow it and there is no end.
You can't know it, but you can be it,
at ease in your own life.
Just realize where you come from:
this is the essence of wisdom.
