Tao Te Ching (Marshall)

A Translation of Lao Tsu's Tao Te Ching from the "The Perennial Way" by Bart Marshall

Four


Tao is hollow emptiness.

The substance of All,
it is absent of substance.
Dimensionless Void,
it is the source of the ten thousand things.

It blunts sharpness,
unravels entanglements,
diffuses brightness,
merges with dust.

Dark, invisible, it only seems to be.
It is the child of No-thing
and the father of God.
