Chapter 37

道常無為而無不為,侯王若能守之,萬物將自化;化而欲作,吾將鎮之以無名之樸。夫亦將無欲,無欲以靜,天下將自定。

dao chang wu wei er wu bu wei
道常無為而無不為

Dao will always support the non-possession administration and there will be nothing inexecutable
with
dao.

hou wang ruo neng shou zhi, wan wu jiang zi hua
侯王若能守之,萬物將自化

If the lords change and turn to hold fast to dao, all people will behave well and live peacefully together.

hua er yu zuo, wu
jiang zhen zhi yi wu ming zhi pu
化而欲作,吾將鎮之以無名之樸

Once when some new case of extremism in society is detected and about to emerge, for me, I would explore the world beyond knowledge to seek new ideas to harmonize it.

fu yi jiang wu yu, wu yu yi jing, tian xia jiang zi ding
夫亦將無欲,無欲以靜,天下將自定

I would expel all of my preoccupied thoughts and stay calm and easy in my mind for a solution. Society will then return to be harmonious automatically.
