第二十五章  道法自然
有物混成，先天地生。寂兮寥兮，独立而不改，周行而不殆，可以为天地母。吾不知其名，字之曰道，强为之名曰大。大曰逝，逝曰远，远曰反。故道大，天大，地大，人亦大。域中有四大，而人居其一焉。
人法地，地法天，天法道，道法自然。

The Tao functions within the Natural Laws

There was an origin of enengy formless anf perfect

before the universe was born.

It is silent、vast、independent, and unchanging.

It may be regarded as the Mother of the universe.

I do not know its name, so I just call it the Tao. If forced to give it a name, I shall call it Great.

Now being great means transcendental power without boundary,  transcendental power without boundary means far-reaching. Being far-reaching to the extreme means returning to the original point.

Therefore, the Tao is Great. Heaven is Great. The Earth is Great. Humankind is Great. In the Universe there are these four things which are Great, And humankind is one of them.

Man follows the ways of the Earth. The Earth follows the ways of Universe, Universe follows the ways of Tao, The Tao functions within the Natural Laws.

在有形的物质世界形成之前, 就有一个浑然一体的宇宙时空场存在了。这个浑然一体的宇宙时空场寂静无声，而广阔无形， 它循环往复，永不停息。它就是宇宙万物本源，我也不知它的名字，就把它称为“道”。勉强称之为“大”，大就不断的向外延伸，延伸而遥不可及，遥不可及至极又返回。道广无边际，由它衍生出的空间也大无边际，人类赖以生存的地域广大，赋有纯宇宙意识能量的人类同样是大。环宇间的四大之中，人类为其中之一。

人类依法于大地，大地依法于环宇，环宇依法于宇宙时空场，而宇宙时空场则按自有规律运行。
