ABSTRACT
The Way that can be told of is not an Unvarying Way; The names that can be named are not unvarying names. It was from the Nameless that Heaven and Earth sprang; The named is but the mother that rears the ten thousand
creatures, each after its kind. Truly,1 'Only he that rids himself forever of desire can see
the Secret Essences'; He that has never rid himself of desire can see only the
Outcomes.1
