The Tao which can be expressed in words is not the eternal Tao; the name which can be uttered is not its eternal name. Without a name it is the Beginning of Heaven and Earth; with a name it is the Mother of all things. Only one who is eternally free from earthly passions can apprehend its spiritual essence; he who is ever clogged by passions can see no more than its outer form. These two things the spiritual and the material.
