大道泛兮
“The great Tao flows everywhere. It gives life to all things yet does not claim them. It accomplishes great things yet does not take credit.”
大道泛兮,其可左右。万物恃之而生而不辞,功成不名有。衣养万物而不为主,常无欲,可名于小;万物归焉而不为主,可名为大。以其终不自为大,故能成其大。
True greatness does not need recognition. Do what matters, then release the need for applause. The work itself is the reward.
大道泛兮其可左右——大道广泛流行,无远弗届。
万物恃之而生——万物依赖它生长。
功成不名有——成就万物而不居功。
可名于小——没有私欲故可称为小;可名为大——万物归附故可称为大。
以其终不自为大故能成其大——不自大反而成就大。
