If this transformation became to me an object of desire, I wouldexpress the desire by the nameless simplicity. Simplicity without a name Is free from all external aim. With no desire, at rest and still, All things go right as of their will. PART II. 38. 1. (Those who) possessed in highest degree the attributes (of theTao) did not (seek) to show them, and therefore they possessed them(in fullest measure). (Those who) possessed in a lower degree thoseattributes (sought how) not to lose them, ...and therefore they did notpossess them (in fullest measure). 2.
