Hold onto the Great Image
and the whole world will come to you.
Come to you and suffer no harm;
but rather know great safety and peace.
Music and food - for these passing travelers stop.
Therefore, of the Tao's speaking, we say:
Insipid, it is! It's lack of flavor.
When you look at it, it's not sufficient to be seen;
When you listen to it, it's not sufficient to be heard;
Yet when you use it, it can't be used up.
