CHAPTER 37TAO TE CHINGTranslation from Chinese with Richard Strauss revision

Madrid 2010BOSTON

37.The Royal Path is always doing nothing . . .And because of this, everything is already done . . .If kings and rulers followed the Royal Path, Everything under heaven would naturally change in of itself. . .Were a wish to appear in this perfect arrangement,Simplicity with No-Name would know how to bring it about. . .Simplicity with No-Name, beyond all desire,Along with “No-Desire” and Peace,Would indeed fix it . . . And All-Under-Heaven would settle naturally.
