一
載營魄抱一能無離乎專氣致柔能嬰兒乎
滌除玄覽能無疵乎愛國治民能無知乎
天門開闔能為雌乎明白四達能無為乎
生之畜之生而不有為而不恃長而不宰是謂玄德
Carrying the corporeal soul and embracing the One
Can you remain undivided?
Focusing your qi and achieving softness
Can you be like an infant?
Cleansing and purifying your profound vision
Can you be without blemish?
Loving the country and governing the people
Can you be without knowledge?
Opening and closing the gates of Heaven
Can you play the feminine role?
Understanding clearly in all four directions
Can you be without action?
Giving birth and nourishing
Giving birth but not possessing
Acting but not taking credit
Leading but not controlling
This is called the mysterious virtue
