47 不出戶 知天下

老子道德經第四十七章

不出戶　知天下
不窺牖　見天道
其出彌遠　其知彌少
是以聖人不行而知
　　　　不見而明
　　　　無為而成

FORTY-SEVEN (Feng)

Without going outside, you may know the whole world.
Without looking through the window, you may see the ways of heaven.
The farther you go, the less you know.

Thus the sage knows without traveling;
He sees without looking;
He works without doing.

Awakened, need I neither go outside to comprehend the world;
nor look outward to see who, where, when, and why I am.
For I know, the more knowledge I seek, the less wisdom I find.
Like a master, I arrive without going,
see without looking;
and accomplish without doing.
