Imaging the mysterious

There is being contain everything completely.

Before heaven and earth it exists.

Calm! Oh! Incorporeal! Oh!

Alone it stands and not changes.

Everywhere it goes and not [it is] hindered.

It can thereby become the world's mother.

I not know its 600, name.

I characterise it [and] call [it] Reason.

Constrained to make 600, a name for it

[I] call [it] the great.

The great I call the evasive. 

The evasive I call the far.

The far I call the reverting.

For [it is said] Reason [is] great.

Heaven [is] great.

Earth is great.

Royalty [is] also great.

In the world there are four greatnesses,

and royalty dwells among them as one there.

Man follows earth.

Earth follows heaven.

Heaven follows reason.

Reason follows the self like.
