道德经注解(四):道冲而用之或不盈

道德经
* * Dao rushes and uses it or does not profit.The abyss is like the sect of all things; it is like or existent.I don't know whose son, before the Elephant Emperor. * * Comment: The well water that surges like a dao is constantly pouring out. Although it knows that it surges downward, it is dissatisfied with the vessel. Its circumference seems to be the source of everything. Although it has always been like before, it turns around, like the water flutters but there is no chaos. It is in harmony with its light, and it is gathered together like dust. It is clear, transparent and deep. I do not know where it comes from, it seems to be at the beginning of everything (Imperialist, the source of everything is the origin of everything)
