Original text:
Causing virtual poles; Keep quiet. Everything works together, and I will see it again. Everything must be traced back to the source. In the final analysis, it is static and motionless. Life often speaks, and knowledge often speaks. I often don't know that I am a murderer. Know how to be patient, be patient for the public, be patient for the whole, all for the sky, the sky is the Tao, the Tao is long, and death is not dangerous.
Translation:
Try your best to make the mind quiet to the extreme and make life quiet. All things prosper together, so I examine the reasons for their reciprocating. Everything is swarming and will eventually return to its source. Returning to nature is called "quietness", and "quietness" is called returning to nature. Returning to nature is called nature, knowing the laws of nature is called cleverness, and reckless behavior that does not know the laws of nature often brings trouble and disaster. People who understand the laws of nature are all-encompassing. If they are all-inclusive, they will be calm and fair, and justice will be comprehensive. Only when they are comprehensive can they conform to the "Tao" of nature, and the Tao that conforms to nature will last for a long time without danger for life.
Extended data:
Appreciation: "to the extreme", "to" is a verb, meaning to achieve and achieve. Deficiency is nothing, extreme is extreme. "Empty" means empty to the extreme, without any distractions and pollution, empty and bright, and Zhan Ran is bright. From the Taoist point of view, "emptiness" is somewhat similar to Buddhism's "emptiness" and is a state of mind. From the perspective of modern science, it is to get rid of one's subjective understanding of the world and reach the realm of nothing, so as to receive enough information to analyze the real laws of things.
