Chapter 2
Dualities

a
If beauty is recognized in the world
Then ugliness arises
If good is recognized in the world
b
Then bad arises

Spirit and flesh form each other
Difficult and easy produce each other
Long and short measure each other
High and low define each other
Music and tone harmonize each other
Front and back follow each other

c
Therefore, the Son of God:
d
Achieves His purpose but not by His own actions
Conveys the teachings but not by His own words
Holds all things together but not by controlling
Creates all but does not possess
Serves all but does not seek glory
Fulfills the promise to all but does not claim it
Since He does not claim anything
Nothing is ever lost
