老子《道德经》第六十五章
古之善为道者
非以明民
将以愚之
民之难治
以其智多
故以智治国
国之贼
不以智治国
国之福
知此两者
亦稽ji1式
常知稽式
是谓玄德
玄德深矣
远矣
与物反矣
然后乃至大顺


The Life Force
65
(MWD 28)


Of old, those who fared by the 
Way
Did not use her to enlighten the people, rather to fool them.


Difficulty in governing people 
comes from their knowing too 
much.


Therefore, 
To know the state by knowing is 
to take a knife to the state.
To know the state by Not-knowing is to give life to the 
state.


(Be ever aware that) these two 
are both models.
Being ever aware of the models 
is called 'abstruse life force'.
Abstruse life force is deep, far-reaching,
And when things reverse only then does it flow with the current.
