Chapter 37 - As It Is

In the way of the Dao,
The actions does not force yet it is unstoppable.
The one that can hold fast to the Dao,
Lets the world metamorphosize.
In the realm of the nameless,
This can take emptiness into form,
This form dissolves back into emptiness.
In the emptiness peace will arise,
This world can indeed self resolve.

道常无为而无不为。侯王若能守之，万物将自化。化而欲作，吾将镇之以无名之朴，镇之以无名之朴，夫将不欲。不欲以静，天下将自定。
