14.

Looking and not seeing it,

we call it invisible;

listening and not hearing it,

we call it inaudible;

reaching and not touching it,

we call it ethereal.

These three aspects of it cannot be grasped,

but contribute to the one.

Its rising brings no dawn,

its setting no darkness;

it goes on and on, unnameable,

returning into nothingness.

Its form is formless.

Its image is invisible.

Meeting it, you cannot see its face.

Following it, you cannot see its back.

Hold to the ancient Tao

to grasp the here-and-now.

Discovering how things have always been

brings one into harmony with the Way.
