太上老君說常清淨經 This chapter of Ching 's name is Yu-Qing God ( also known as Lao Jun ) speaks of How to maintain a crystal clear and clean life.
老君曰：大道無形，生育天地；大道無情，運行日月；大道無名，長養萬物；吾不知其名，強名曰道。
Lao Jun says that : Great Dao is formless, have been give birth to the sky and land. it's have no emotion feelings, it's the source of motion of the law that ruling the Sun and moon. It is have no name, yet it gives energy to everything that have life. He does not know the name of Great Dao , so just made a name for it as it is Dao.
夫道者：有清有濁，有動有靜；天清地濁，天動地靜；男清女濁，男動女靜；降本流末，而生萬物。清者，濁之源，動者，靜之基；人能常清靜，天地悉皆歸。
The Dao contains( basic law of live beings) : Clear and turbid, moving and static; sky is clear and earth is turbidity, sky is moving and earth is static; men is clear and women is turbid, male is moving and female is static; birth and death, this is what made life is life and start of all things. Qing who, the source of the cloud, the move, the static base; people can often understand Clear and Static, sky and earth are all within your hand.
夫人神好清，而心擾之；人心好靜，而欲牽之。常能遣其欲，而心自靜；澄其心，而神自清；自然六欲不生，三毒消滅。所以不能者，為心未澄，欲未遣也；能遣之者：內觀其心，心無其心；外觀其形，形無其形；遠觀其物，物無其物；三者既悟，唯見於空。觀空亦空，空無所空；所空既無，無無亦無；無無既無，湛然常寂。寂無所寂，欲豈能生；欲既不生，即是真靜。真常應物，真常得性；常應常靜，常清靜矣。如此清靜，漸入真道；既入真道，名為得道；雖名得道，實無所得；為化眾生，名為得道；能悟之者，可傳聖道。
The human mind is based on Clarity, but Heart(emotion feelings) always disturb it. Human emotion feelings (heart) is based on Static, but desire(human needs) always involve with it. So if people get desire under control of a clear mind, then emotion feelings will be static, when the emotion feelings static, the mind will have its clarity. ( this is a triangle effective base.) ( you can not actually control mind or heart without depressing yourself, start point is better at Desire control, this will have no pressure and the key to start self-consciousness). When the mind is clear, you will have no longer struggle with Six basic human needs，and three mind poison will vanish from the brain. People who can not in the state of healthy mind is those who let their emotion feelings flood and abuse their desire of needs. People who want to control the desire of needs, should be able to do as follow: First, observe your emotion feelings, you will know that emotion feelings only exist in mind, it is not real, it is caused by other related things that around you. This is not something generated by yourself. So it is hallucinating or over thinking's result. People should get rid of it. Second, observe your physical body, you will realize, you have been giving physical form, this is not yours, you rented it, when you die you won't carry anything with you, and you won't have a body too, so those emotion feeling about the physical body and belongings should let it go. Third, observe others things around, you will realize that they are pretty much the same as you, they won't carry when they die and nature won't change regardless your exist or not. Once you have figured this three bases out, you will see only nothing and nothing is everything, so when everything is nothing, and we should be able to get the clarity and relief of all of this very easily. Once people let everything go, they shall be able to get everything in orders. Means steps by steps. Once people have no self-motivated desires, then those shall have their clarity of the universe. This is true clarity. True clarity means, without self-interests, you will act as nature calls, you will get what nature gives, and you should have all nature. At this very moment, you can call yourself Had Dao with you. Physically you still have nothing, but cleared mind. People who can achieve this and understand this should be able to teach other people about Dao.
老君曰：上士無爭，下士好爭；上德不德，下德執德；執著之者，不明道德。眾生所以不得真道者，為有妄心；既有妄心，即驚其神；既驚其神，即著萬物；既著萬物，即生貪求；既生貪求，即是煩惱；煩惱妄想，憂苦身心；便遭濁辱，流浪生死；常沈苦海，永失真道。真常之道，悟者自得；得悟道者，常清靜矣！
Lao Jun says: People at the upper side of Grand level generally gives chances to others, could be very generous, people at the downside of Lower level often fight for themselves until death. The people who achieve great success do not have to do anything; they will remain good reputation. People who achieved nothing would do everything but still have no name to be remembered, so they become obsessed with a pursuit that things not belong to them. Those people who so obsessed with desire will cloud their mind and become have no moral standard and principle . and when they went far enough they will have a very abused emotional desires . and this will make their mind shocked in the state of numb. The reaction of this would cause everything to react on . they will be even more greed, all the troubles comes from greed. Troubles will make the body illness and mind illness. They will suffer and lost in the social life; Dao will abandon them forever as they abandoned Dao long time ago. People know the truth would not like to be those people who suffer from their lives. Life has no purpose of being suffering only people made their choices.
Notice: Lao Jun is Yu-Qing God . he is not Lao Tzu. Do not confuse with those Two , since they both Have a Lao in the name . Lao is simply means Old or very old.
Notice2: 七情, the sever emotional feelings that is all the emotional feelings human can have. they are : 喜Xǐ, 怒nù, 忧yōu, 思sī, 悲bēi, 恐kǒng, 惊jīng which is Happy, anger, worry, Miss, sadness, fear, surprise
Notice3: 六欲，the six human desire( needs) comes along with the body is : Eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, wish, meaning: the desire to sense and feel.
after words by master mencius :
After you read this and totally understand of this you will see how ridiculous that nowadays, people around the world trying to make a good planet earth then yet we are destroying it, even more, faster and stronger. Why ? Because so many people are out there and educate people the wrong idea and misled information. No wonder why people suffer more when they are under the influence of that very wrong information and so fear to get isolated or knocked out of social life. They won't speak their real mind and them just participate with those false ideas and or fake nice people. For Daoism there is only one way to find out the truth is to be honest with self. You do not have to speak out, but you do have to clear with yourself. I can not stand that when I see people are getting pushed down to the edge of a self-interests idea, but do n't know what is going on at all. Suger talk is the greatest poison. Chinese old phrase says that 忠言逆耳利于行, honest words are often shocking but very good for life. People should not suggest people get emotional in their life as the same as getting rational in the life. Those two needs to be balanced in the way of things. Let's say that different case different conditions to act. But for desires, people definitely should not encourage people to pursue the idea of trying so hard to make sense of this world. You already have it in you. Just have to look back inside of you. People are often wrong about this, only because they have been looking for it in wrong direction and wrong place for so long and even worse with those fake people who is teaching them. Just one think would be enough . after those many years what have you done and get? Result ? Generally enlightenment only takes about second or minutes. And rest will flood into your mind. Mind clear does not take years.There is the only master of skills set years practice. I hope I can wake as many people as I can.
the below part is the pass lineage of This ching. in short terms it says that , this is passed down by many as the first one heard From Lao Jun.
仙人葛翁曰：吾得真道，曾誦此經萬遍。此經是天人所習，不傳下士。吾昔受之於東華帝君，東華帝君受之於金闕帝君，金闕帝君受之於西王母。西王母皆口口相傳，不記文字。吾今於世，書而錄之。上士悟之，升為天官；中士修之，南宮列仙；下士得之，在世長年。遊行三界，升入金門。
左玄真人曰：學道之士，持誦此經者，即得十天善神，擁護其身。然後玉符保神，金液煉形。形神俱妙，與道合真。
正壹真人曰：人家有此經，悟解之者，災障不幹，眾聖護門。神升上界，朝拜高真。功滿德就，相感帝君。誦持不退，身騰紫雲。
