侯王若能守之,萬物將自化。
化而欲作,吾將鎮之以無名之樸。
無名之樸,夫亦將無欲。
不欲以靜,天下將自正。
Translation
The Dao never acts, yet nothing is left undone.
If rulers could hold to it, the ten thousand things would transform themselves.
If, after transformation, they seek to act, I will restrain them with the Uncarved Block of Namelessness.
The Uncarved Block of Namelessness is free from desire.
Being free from desire, it is still.
And the world will correct itself.
