Tao – Chapter 10

In nourishing the soul and embracing the One – can you do it without letting them leave?
In concentrating your breath and making it soft – can you make it like that of a child?
In cultivating and cleaning your profound mirror – can you do it so that it has no blemish?
In loving the people and giving life to the state – can you do it without using knowledge?
In opening and closing the gates of Heaven – can you play the part of the female?
In understanding all within the four reaches – can you do it without using knowledge?

Give birth to them and nourish them.
Give birth to them but don't try to own them;
Help them to grow but don't rule them.
This is called Profound Virtue.
