道，可道也，非恒道也。名，可名也，非恒名也。“无”，名天地之始；“有”，名万物之母。 故，常“无”，欲以观其妙；常“有”，欲以观其徼。此两者，同出而异名，同谓之玄。玄之又玄，眾妙之门。

Tao Ching Chapter One

Veritas that can be spoken of is not the Constant Veritas.

Name that can be named is not a Constant Name.

Void is the origin of Heaven and Earth;

Being is the Mother of all things.

Thus, the constant void enables one to observe the true essence.

The constant being enables one to see the outward manifestations.

These two come paired from the same origin.

But they have different names.

Together we call them the Mystery.

As profound the mystery as It can be,

It is the Gate of all that is subtle and wonderful.
