Verse 14:

That which cannot be seen is called invisible.
That which cannot be heard is called inaudible.
That which cannot be held is called intangible.
These three cannot be defined;
therefore, they are merged as one.

Each of these three is sublet for description.
By intuition you can see it,
hear it,
and feel it.
Then the unseen, unheard, and untouched are presented as one.

Its rising brings no dawn,
its setting no darkness;
it goes on and on, unnameable,
returning into nothingness.

Approach it an there is no beginning;
follow it and there is no end.
You cannot know it, but you can be it,
at ease in your own life.

Discovering how things have always been
brings one into harmony with the Way.

Peni Renner (penijo_renner) The all-encompassing Tao and it's Everything-ness can't be detected by our 5 senses. The Tao is complete and can't be boxed in and categorized. Eternal, formless, limitless...no beginning, no end.
