第十章   营魄抱一

载营魄抱一，能无离乎。专气致柔，能如婴儿乎。涤除玄鉴，能如疵乎。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， 长不弗宰， 是谓玄德。

[译文]

人作为道的能量的一个粒子显现与世, 能够身心保持一致吗? 呼吸吐纳，切断念头， 运气周身达到心平气和， 能像孩童般纯真无邪吗? 达到彻悟时, 还有任何不解和疑惑吗? 治理国家, 能去有限的人类智巧, 而遵守道的自然规律去自然而为吗? 认知道由无到有相互转换, 能守静了然其本源创造力吗? 体悟宇宙的有无转换, 还会有什么不清楚的吗?

道化生万物, 却不占为己有；成就万物的循环，却不居功；它任万物依其规律显现、进化，而不去主宰他们；这便是人类要学习、要崇尚遵守的最高自然品德。
