The Tao that is named is not the Tao
The eternal cannot be named
The ever-changing cannot be named

What came after can be named
The heavens, earth, and all material things

The Tao is the mother of all things
From her all that is flows
To her all that was returns
The eternal nature of creation

Free from the blindfold of the internal foe
One embodies the mysteries of the Tao
Enslaved by the chains of the internal foe
One is only her manifestation

Yet mystery and manifestation
Come from the same source
Some call it darkness
There are no words to call it other

The Tao needs no light or eyes to see

Fear not the darkness within
Fear not your internal foe
Its strength is one of illusion
A veil that appears as granite
With not the weight of mist

Fear not your internal foe
Enter into understanding
