能为
原文
载营魄抱一，能无离乎？专气致柔，能婴儿乎？涤除玄览，能无疵乎？爱民治国，能无知乎？天门开阖，能为雌乎？明白四达，能无知乎？生之、畜之，生而不有，为而不恃，长而不宰，是谓玄德。
王弼注
载营魄抱一，能无离乎？载，犹处也。营魄，人之常居处也，一人之真也。言人能处常居之宅，抱一清神，能常无离乎，则万物自宾矣。专气致柔，能婴儿乎？专，任也，致极也，言任自然之气。致，至柔之和，能若婴儿之无所欲乎，则物全而性得矣。涤除玄览，能无疵乎？玄，物之极也，言能涤除邪饰，至于极览，能不以物介其明。疵之其神乎，则终与玄同也。爱国治民，能无知乎？任术以求成，运数以求匿者，智也。玄览无疵，犹绝圣也。治国无以智，犹弃智也。能无以智乎，则民不辟而国治之也。天门开阖，能为雌乎？天门，天下之所从由也。开阖，治乱之际也，或开或阖，经通于天下，故曰，天门开阖也。雌，应而不倡，因而不为，言天门开阂能为雌乎，则物自宾而处自安矣。明白四达，能无为乎？言至明四达，无迷无惑，能无以为乎，则物化矣。所谓道常无为，侯王若能守，则万物自化。生之，不塞其原也。畜之。不禁其性也。生而不有，为而不恃，长而不宰，是谓玄德。不塞其原，则物自生，何功之有。不禁其性，则物自济，何为之恃。物自长足，不吾宰成，有德无生，非玄如何。凡言玄德，皆有德而不知其主，出乎幽冥。

(Possibilities through the Dao) When the intelligent and animal souls are held together in one embrace, they can be kept from separating. When one gives undivided attention to the (vital) breath, and brings it to the utmost degree of pliancy, he can become as a (tender) babe. When he has cleansed away the most mysterious sights (of his imagination), he can become without a flaw. In loving the people and ruling the state, cannot he proceed without any (purpose of) action? In the opening and shutting of his gates of heaven, cannot he do so as a female bird? While his intelligence reaches in every direction, cannot he (appear to) be without knowledge? (The Dao) produces (all things) and nourishes them; it produces them and does not claim them as its own; it does all, and yet does not boast of it; it presides over all, and yet does not control them. This is what is called 'The mysterious Quality' (of the Dao).
