"The Master does his job
and then stops.
He understands that the universe
is forever out of control,
and that trying to dominate events
goes against the current of the Tao.
Because he believes in himself,
he doesn’t try to convince others.
Because he is content with himself,
he doesn’t need others’ approval.
Because he accepts himself,
the whole world accepts him"

By the definition of Chapter 1:
(you): Visible; Tao is 1; the tangible state of Tao.
(wu): Invisible; Tao is 0; the intangible state of Tao.

By the definition of Chapter 40:


1. All things came from you(,1);
2. And you(,1) came from wu(,0).

All things came from Visible(1).
And Visible(1) came from Invisible(0).

3 embodies the yin & the yang
