43	道德經:	天下之至柔，馳騁天下之至堅。 無有入無間，吾是以知無為之有益。 不言之教，無為之益，天下希及之。
	Dao De Jing:	(The universal use [of the action in the weakness of the Dao]) The softest thing in the world dashes against and overcomes the hardest; that which has no (substantial) existence enters where there is no crevice. I know hereby what advantage belongs to doing nothing (with a purpose). There are few in the world who attain to the teaching without words, and the advantage arising from non-action.

43

Under Heaven, it is the softest things which overcome the hardest things.

That which has no substance can penetrate where there is no room.

Thus I know the benefit of non-action.

Few in the world understand the advantage of

Teaching without words and accomplishing without action.

第四十三章

天下之至柔，

驰骋天下之至坚。

无有入无间，

吾是以知无为之有益。

不言之教，

无为之益，

天下希及之。

Chapter 43

The softest power of the world can penetrate(1) through the hardest objects.
This invisible force is able to go through any gapless(2) substance.
I, therefore, realize the advantage of "non-action".
The teaching of "non-speech", the advantage of "non-action",
there is hardly(3) anything that can compete with them.
1. The character refers to "riding fast" or "galloping".
2. meaning "no gap", "no space", or "no room".
3. Ma Wang Dui versions A and B use a different expression.
