Image
There is a thing inherent and natural which existed before heaven and earth. Motionless and fathomless, It stands alone and never changes It pervades everywhere and never becomes exhausted. It may be regarded as the Mother of the Universe. I do not know its name. If I am forced to give It a name, I call it Tao, and I name it as supreme.
