Chapter 37

1. The Tao, in its normal way, does not act, and yet nothing is left undone.

2. If rulers and kings could hold to it, all things would transform themselves.

3. If, after this transformation, desire arose, I would still it with the nameless simplicity.

Nameless simplicity Is free of all desire. Without desire, in stillness, All things settle of themselves.
