Chapter Twenty-one

The greatest Virtue is to follow Tao and Tao alone.
The Tao is elusive and intangible.
Oh, it is intangible and elusive, and yet within is image.
Oh, it is elusive and intangible, and yet within is form.
Oh, it is dim and dark, and yet within is essence.
This essence is very real, and therein lies faith.
From the very beginning until now its name has never been forgotten.
Thus I perceive the creation.
How do I know the ways of creation?
Because of this.

PS: You are most welcome, MagickMuffin. Jane English and Gia-fu Feng published a magnificently illustrated translation of Lao Tzu’s work in the 70s. Someone grabbed the words and posted themonline:
