载营魄抱一，能无离乎？
抟气致柔，能如婴儿乎？
涤除玄鉴，能无疵乎？
爱民治国，能无为乎？
天门开阖，能为雌乎？
明白四达，能无知乎？
生之畜之，生而不有，为而不恃，长而不宰，是谓玄德。
载营魄抱一，能无离乎？
Can you embrace your body and soul as a whole without self-contradiction?
抟气致柔，能如婴儿乎？
Can you harmonize your breath to make it as smooth as a newborn baby's?
涤除玄鉴，能无疵乎？
Can you clean up the mirror of Complementarity so that nothing is stuck on it?
爱民治国，能无为乎？
Can you love your people and govern your country without any purpose?
天门开阖，能为雌乎？
Can you open and close the door of your primitive mind following the way to anima?
明白四达，能无知乎？
Can you reach a profound understanding of all aspects without being bound by your knowledge?
生之畜之，生而不有，为而不恃，长而不宰，是谓玄德。
The virtue of Complementarity is to make everything happen, keep it on, create it without possession, use it without reliance, and develop it without domination.
