嬰兒章第十
 

載營魄抱一，能無離乎？專氣致柔，能嬰兒乎？滌除玄覽，能無疵乎? 愛國治民，能無為乎？天門開闔，能為雌乎？明白四達，能無知乎？( 生之畜之，生而不有，為而不恃，長而不宰，是謂玄德 )。
 

10. Harmony

Embracing the Way, you become embraced;

Breathing gently, you become newborn;

Clearing your mind, you become clear;

Nurturing your children, you become impartial;

Opening your heart, you become accepted;

Accepting the world, you embrace the Way.

Bearing and nurturing,

Creating but not owning,

Giving without demanding,

This is harmony.

承載著營魄而精神專一，能夠屏除任何外在的附加裝飾嗎？專注於精氣而達到柔弱的境地，能夠像嬰兒一樣嗎？清洗玄妙觀想的靈明之心，能夠讓他乾淨而沒有瑕疵嗎？愛國而治理人民，能夠不用智慧嗎？天門的開與關，能夠有如雌性一樣柔順守靜嗎？聰明智慧四通八達，無所不知，但能夠無為自然嗎？道生成萬物，畜養萬物。生養萬物而不擁有，施為而不自恃功勞，成長養育而不主宰，這就是玄妙的德性。
