📜 原文 Original Text

「孰能浊以静之徐清?孰能安以动之徐生?保此道者不欲盈。夫唯不盈,故能蔽而新成。」 ——《道德经》第十五章
— Daodejing, Chapter 15 · 📖 阅读原文全文

📖 释义 Annotation

「静之徐清」是老子对古之善士的生动描绘。谁能使浑浊的水静下来,慢慢变清?谁能在安静中慢慢焕发生机?保有这种道的人不求满盈,正因不满盈,所以能在陈旧中更新。这不是消极的等待,而是对自然过程的深刻信任。

Who can make turbid water still until it gradually clarifies? Who can stir quietude to gradually bring forth life? Those who hold this Tao don't seek fullness — because they are not full, they can renew from the old. Trust in natural processes.

💡 当代启示 Modern Application

当事情混乱不清时,不要急于做决定——静下来,让泥沙沉淀,真相自然显现。耐心不是被动等待,而是对自然澄清过程的信任。

When things are chaotic, don't rush decisions — let the sediment settle and truth naturally emerge. Patience is trusting the natural process of clarification.
