Tai Shang Lao Jun Qing Jing Jing

The Tao is not a form,
Produced Heaven and Earth.

The Tao is not an egoist,
Make the sun and the moon work.

The Tao is not a name,
Generated the entire Universe.

I did not know how to name it,
I called it "Tao".

The Tao
have the purity and the turbulence,
has the movement and the tranquility.

Heaven is pure and the Earth is turbulent,
Heaven is active and Earth is calm.

The Tao circulates from the beginning to end,
Thus it originates all the ten thousand beings of the Universe.

Purity is the origin of turbulence,
movement is the foundation of the tranquility.

If I could be always pure and calm,
Heaven and Earth would come to me.

The Human spirit is always pleased with purity,
but the Hearth disturbs it.
The human Heart is always pleased with tranquility,
but desire moves it.
Desire is always overcome,
Later, the Heart naturally returns to tranquility.
The Heart is always purified,
Later, the Spirit naturally returns to purity.
Naturally the six desires become sterile.
And the three harms are eliminated.

Why this can not be done?
Because the Heart is not purified and desire is not overcome.
If the Heart can be purified and desire overcome:
To observe the interior of the Heart,
the Heart feels as if there was not anything.
To observe outside the body,
the body feels as if there was not anything.
To observe far aways towards the things,
the things feel as if there was not anything.

If the three parts can be observed,
is like observing only blankness.
To observe blankness is also blank,
because does not exists.
The blankness of blank is already nothing.
The nothingness of nothing is also nothing.
The nothingness of nothing is already nothing,
Clarity is always it state.

Clarity is as if clarity did not existed,
Desire is like setting itself to produce!
Desire no longer can produce,
that is real tranquility.
The Heart always observes the things with tranquility,
the Spirit always observes the things with purity.
If the things were always observed with tranquility and purity,
you can always be calm and pure.

Thus always calm and pure,
Little by little one enters the true Tao.
Since to enter the Tao,
it is called to realize the Tao.
Although it is called to realize the Tao,
in fact it is not to realize anything.

To educate all the living beings,
for the reason it is called to realize the Tao.
If it is possible to grasp this way,
This is how is possible to be able to understand
the sacred Tao.

The superior person dois not dispute,
the inferior person always disputes.
The superior person does not need virtue,
the inferior person needs virtue.

Why seek virtue?
Because the Tao's virtue is unknown.
Why Tao's virtue is unknown?
Because the Heart is always moved by many improper desires.
When moved by many improper desires,
the Heart disturbs the spirit.
When the spirit is disturbed,
the adheres to the improper things,
then greed and pretension takes place.
As greed and pretension takes place,
then annoyance and anguish are richened.
Improper desires, annoyance and anguish,
always pressure and bother the body and the Heart.
Then if disturbance and suffering are found,
One wanders in life and Death.
Always sunk in the abyss of misery,
Always losing the Tao.

The true and real Tao can be achieved naturally by just being aware.
If the Tao is grasped,
we can always be pure and calm.
