As with the previous verse of the Tao, verse nine refocuses our attention to the concept of humilty and inconspicuousness. In fact, verse nine elaborates on the pitfalls of going above and beyond, storing up and claiming huge amounts of material treasures within our places of abode, and/or claiming particular titles. According to this portion of Tao, these actions will eventually lead to disaster.
Instead, humans must constantly reflect on their humility and inconspicuousness. If each of us were to conduct ourselves in this manner, just think of the world that it would be. More than likely, perhaps we would be hard pressed to find the animosity and disparity that exists among people.
Peace and blessings!
