Chapter 41
Original:
When the wise hear the Way, they practice it diligently. When the mediocre hear of the Way, they doubt it. When the foolish hear of the Way, they laugh out loud. If it were not laughed at, it would not be the Way. Therefore it is said, "The enlightenment of the Way seems like dullness; progression in the Way seem like regression; the even path of the Way seems to go up and down." Great power appears like a valley. Great purity appears tarnished. Great character appears insufficient. Solid character appears weak. True integrity appears changeable. Great space has no corners. Great ability takes time to mature. Great music has the subtlest sound. Great form has no shape. The Way is hidden and indescribable. Yet the Way alone is adept at providing for all and bringing fulfillment.
Our Translation:
When the Discordian hears of Chaos, they become Actors. When the Erisian hears of Chaos, they think about it, at great length. When the Pinealist hears of Chaos, they say, "FNORD! PINEAL23!" If it were not for the Pinealist, Chaos would not be what it is. Order appears calming and sensible. Disorder appears unsettling and unstable. Doubt appears ignorant. Certainty appears true. Agression appears confident. Mirth appears uncaring. Horror appears powerless. All these are lies. Uncertainty reveals itself as a narrow footbridge, But with its heart in Chaos, the path is clear.

Original: 48 (SMT)
In pursuit of knowledge,
every day something is added.
In the practice of the Tao,
every day something is dropped.
Less and less do you need to force things,
until finally you arrive at non-action.
When nothing is done,
nothing is left undone.
True mastery can be gained
by letting things go their own way.
It can't be gained by interfering.

When you wanna know stuff,
it’s always blah blah blah blah
when playing with Eris?
just gotta hang on for dear life!
Useless to use force,
just hang onto that wire!
When nothing is done,
most often it’s well done.
True don’t be pushing,
gotta let some things slide.
Leave it alone dammit!
