Tao

The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao
The name that can be named is not the eternal name
The nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth
The named is the mother of myriad things
Thus, constantly without desire, one observes its manifestations
These two emerge together but differ in name
The unity is said to be the mystery
Mystery of mystery, the door to all wonders

Lao Tze - Tao Te Chin - chapter 1
