All-pervading is the Great Tao! It may be found on the left hand and on the right.
All things depend on Tao for their production, which it gives to them, no one is exceptive. Tao never takes credit to itself as the greatest creator.
Tao uprears universe and makes no assumption of being their lord, how modest it is; all things submit to it and act according to its rules, but, Tao makes no assumption of being their lord either. How great it is.
Because to the end it does not claim greatness, its greatness is achieved.
