Each and every day there are beginnings and endings. These beginnings and endings take place simultaneously, as the astute observer notices. Perhaps in order to become the astute observer, one must become totally void of the tugs and pulls from the experience of life. Though these tugs and pulls can be symbolic to countless things, they usually involve those things which impede the human soul from being at peace. Just as in previous verses of the Tao, the enlightened one must jettison these obstacles and become an empty vessel. Upon becoming the empty vessel, the invidual is in a position to be at peace with his/her surroundings, observe, and understand the enduring nature of things.
When the individual becomes the empty vessel, he or she experiences peace. Further, when the individual experiences peace, he or she is fulfilling the destiny of the soul. The fulfillment of the soul is constant, and to know this constancy is called insight.
One must know the constant in order to gain perspective. The perspective is to be impartial, and the impartiality of the individual is nobility. Subsequently, the highest degree of nobility is Divine. When the invidual has reached the highest stage of nobility, he/she will be at one with the Tao. Being at one with Tao is eternal, and the physical aspect of death has no influence upon the everlasting way, as it is constant.
Peace and blessings!
