Dao: Song_001

The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao
The name that can be named is not the eternal name
The nameless is the beginning of heaven and Earth
The named is the mother of the ten thousand things
Ever desireless, one can see the mystery
Ever desiring, one sees the manifestations
These two spring from the same source but differ in name; this appears as darkness.
Darkness within darkness
The gate to all mystery

Translated by Gia Fu Feng

Commentary on Song_001

It's possible to explain sexual feelings to an adult?
Is it possible to explain sexual feelings to a three-years old?
Thing should have been felt to understand?
Basics of maths can be explained with set of pre-defined invariable parameters?
Can Dao the ever varying parameter can be expalined with pre-set parameters?
It's the very nature of Dao to keep changing?
One should have felt Dao in first-hand to understand its leashing.
One who have felt, realised Dao in the first hand feel its manifestation everywhere?
Two streams of gushing force raises up to the peak like a whoofing serepent?
Now, Can you see the darkness? What is there beyond darkness is the realm to all.
The darkness remains the gateway to all mystery.
