执大象,天下往。往而不害,安平太。
乐与饵,过客止。道之出口,淡乎其无味,视之不足见,听之不足闻,用之不足既。
Hold the great symbol, and all the world comes to you. They come and receive no harm, but find peace, tranquility, and harmony. Music and fine food may stop a traveler, but the Tao when spoken is bland and without flavor. When looked at, it is not enough to be seen; when listened to, it is not enough to be heard; yet when used, it is inexhaustible.
