Translation of Verse 1
Paths can be walked; not the eternal path.
Names can be spoken of; not the eternal name.
Non-existence is the name of the origin of Heaven and Earth.
Existence names all things’ mother.
Therefore, the eternal non-existence desire intends to manifest its essence.
The eternal existence desire intends to manifest its outer forms.
This pair, together, emerges, yet diverges in name.
“Together” implies their mystery:
A higher degree mystery of a mystery;
An entrance of all essence.
