The ...

The Tao that can be told
Is not the Eternal Tao.
The name that can be named
Is not the eternal name.

The unnameable is the eternally real.
Naming is the origin
Of the particular things.

Freedom from desire, you realize the mystery.
Caught in desire, you see the manifestations.

Yet mystery and manifestations 
Arise from the same source.
This is called darkness.

Darkness within darkness,
The gateway to all understanding
