In verse ten of the Tao Te Ching, adherents are directed to embrace the soul within. Further, we are directed to cleanse and purify our inner perception so that it may be clear and without flaws. On a deeper level, this purification of the inner perception could mean that I need to give up the idea of who I thought I was so that I can become the person that I am meant to be. The purpose for doing such might center around the fact that we, as humans, should learn to get out of our own way and let the soul within us lead.
Somewhere along the way, I have heard that if we get out of our own way, good things can happen. Perhaps it is our own flawed perception, as suggested in verse ten, that disables us and renders us incapable, in many instances, from allowing the universe to direct our course. Perhaps the course in which our society today finds itself is evidence of a population that has gone contrary to this principle.
This notion of letting the universe direct us is what is referred to as the harminozation of our will with nature's will. Perhaps when people around the globe are able to see the value in such, it may make our planet a better place in which to dwell.
Peace and blessings!
