Chapter 48
第四十八章
He who devotes himself to learning (seeks) from day to day to increase (his knowledge);
为学日益，
he who devotes himself to the Tao (seeks) from day to day to diminish (his doing).
为道日损，
He diminishes it and again diminishes it, till he arrives at doing nothing (on purpose).
损之又损，以至于无为。
Having arrived at this point of non-action, there is nothing which he does not do.
无为而无不为，
He who gets as his own all under heaven does so by giving himself no trouble (with that end).
取天下常以无事；
If one take trouble (with that end), he is not equal to getting as his own all under heaven.
及其有事，不足以取天下。
