How great the Way,
like a flooding river flowing left and right!
Holding nothing back, it gives to all in need
and makes no claim upon them.

All creatures return to it, yet it rules none:

how small it seems.
It rules none, yet all creatures return to it:
how great it seems.

By never seeking greatness,
greatness comes.
