道德经 · 第48章

底本文字与中文阅读

為學日益，
為道日損。
損之又損，以至於無為。無為而無不為。
取天下常以無事，
及其有事，
不足以取天下。

English support translation

He who devotes himself to learning (seeks) from day to day to
increase (his knowledge); he who devotes himself to the Tao (seeks)
from day to day to diminish (his doing).

He diminishes it and again diminishes it, till he arrives at doing
nothing (on purpose). Having arrived at this point of non-action,
there is nothing which he does not do.

He who gets as his own all under heaven does so by giving himself
no trouble (with that end). If one take trouble (with that end), he
is not equal to getting as his own all under heaven.
