55 | 道德經: | 蜂蠆虺蛇不螫,猛獸不據,攫鳥不搏。 骨弱筋柔而握固。 未知牝牡之合而全作,精之至也。 終日號而不嗄,和之至也。 知和曰常,知常曰明,益生曰祥。 心使氣曰強。 物壯則老,謂之不道,不道早已。 |
Dao De Jing: | He who has in himself abundantly the attributes (of the Dao) is like an infant. Poisonous insects will not sting him; fierce beasts will not seize him; birds of prey will not strike him. (The infant's) bones are weak and its sinews soft, but yet its grasp is firm. It knows not yet the union of male and female, and yet its virile member may be excited; - showing the perfection of its physical essence. All-day long it will cry without its throat becoming hoarse; - showing the harmony (in its constitution). To him by whom this harmony is known, (The secret of) the unchanging (Dao) is shown, And in the knowledge wisdom finds its throne. All life-increasing arts to evil turn; Where the mind makes the vital breath to burn, (False) is the strength, (and o'er it, we should mourn.) When things have become strong, they (then) become old, which may be said to be contrary to the Dao. Whatever is contrary to the Dao soon ends. |

55
Embody the action of the soul in its fullness.
Join with it to be as open as a newborn infant.
The bee, scorpion, serpent, and snake, will not bite.
Wild animals will not attack.
Birds of prey will not strike.
Even with weak bones and tender muscles, you will be able to stand firm.
It does not know male-female union, yet the whole comes into being.
The life force is at its height!
You can cry all day and you are not hoarse.
Harmony is at its height!
You know that harmony is known as the eternal.
You know that the eternal is called the light.
The increase in your life force is a blessing.
Directing the chi with your mind is violent.
Things overdevelop, which is followed by exhaustion.
This is not the Tao.
What is not the Tao soon ends.
