What is TAO ant the name?

Question

Can someone give me the Tao Teh Ching chapter one.

Answer 1

OK,it's the Tao Teh Ching chapter one.

The Tao that can be told of is not the Absolute Tao.

The names that can be given are not enduring and unchanging names.

As the origin of heaven and earth, it is nameless.

As the mother of all things, it is nameable.

Therefore when one is without passion, he is able to see things at inner essence.

So, when one is full of wordly or mundane desire, he can see things at outer aspects.

These two denominations bear the same origin but with different names.

Both of them may be called the Cosmic Mystery.

Answer 2

ChapterTao Teh Ching


Tao – Chapter 1
As for the Way, the Way that can be spoken of is not the constant Way;
As for names, the name that can be named is not the constant name
The nameless is the beginning of the ten thousand things;
The named is the mother of the ten thousand things.

Therefore, those constantly without desires, by this means will perceive its subtlety
Those constantly with desires, by this means will see only that which they yearn for and seek.

These two together emerge;
They have different names yet they're called the same;
That which is even more profound than the profound –
The gateway of all subtleties.

Answer 3

The tao that can be described
is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be spoken
is not the eternal Name.

The nameless is the boundary of Heaven and Earth.
The named is the mother of creation.

Freed from desire, you can see the hidden mystery.
By having desire, you can only see what is visibly real.

Yet mystery and reality
emerge from the same source.
This source is called darkness.

Darkness born from darkness.
The beginning of all understanding.

ETA: I had forgotten how beautiful this stuff is. If reincarnation is true, Lao Tzu definitely came back as William Blake later.
