昔之得一者
“Heaven attained the One and became clear. Earth attained the One and became stable. The valley attained the One and became full. All things arise from the One.”
昔之得一者:天得一以清,地得一以宁,神得一以灵,谷得一以盈,万物得一以生,侯王得一以为天下贞。其致之,天无以清将恐裂,地无以宁将恐废,神无以灵将恐歇,谷无以盈将恐竭,万物无以生将恐灭,侯王无以贵高将恐蹶。故贵以贱为本,高以下为基。是以侯王自称孤、寡、不谷。此非以贱为本邪?非乎?故致数誉无誉。不欲琭琭如玉,珞珞如石。
When you find your center — your "One" — everything else falls into place. Your life becomes clear, stable, and full. What is your One?
天得一以清——天得道则清明。
贵以贱为本高以下为基——高贵以卑贱为根基。
侯王自称孤寡不谷——这正是以贱为本的表现。
致数誉无誉——最高的赞誉是没有赞誉。
不欲琭琭如玉珞珞如石——不要像玉那样华丽,而像石头那样质朴。
