道法自然

Everything comes naturally.


昔者莊周夢為胡蝶,栩栩然胡蝶也。
Once upon a time I, Zhuāng Zhōu (= Zhuāngzǐ), dreamt I was a butterfly.

自喻適志與!不知周也。
Flapping my wings in true butterfly fashion, I was happy as could be, and I knew nothing of any person named Zhuāng Zhōu.

俄然覺,則蘧蘧然周也。
But suddenly I awakened, astonished to be Zhuāng Zhōu.

不知周之夢為胡蝶與?
I still don’t know whether as Zhuāng Zhōu I was dreaming I was a butterfly.

胡蝶之夢為周與?
or whether as a butterfly I was dreaming I was Zhuāng Zhōu.

週與胡蝶,則必有分矣。
There ought to be a difference between Zhuāng Zhōu and a butterfly.

此之謂物化。
But this is called the transformation of things.
