Chapter 42
Harmony in Unity
a
God gives birth to One
One gives birth to Two
b
Two gives birth to Three
c
Three gives birth to the myriad of things
d
The myriad of things in the world carries darkness
And embraces the light of the Spirit
e
The two forces achieve harmony by remaining as One
f
The people hate to be “helpless,” “small,” and “worthless”
Yet these are the very names that wise rulers call themselves
Truly, one gains by losing
g
Or one loses by gaining
I will teach what the wise rulers teach
h
For all who draw the sword will die by the sword
This is a principle of my teaching
