Chapter 16 - Be The Observer

Empty the senses,
Let the quiet prevail,
No matter how the world transforms,
Watch, as an observer, for the cycle.
Despite the chaos in life,
All will return to their beginning.
From the return,
To the quiet,
To the rebirth,
As is the way of nature.
To know nature is to know clarity.
Without clarity comes suffering.
With clarity comes:
Openness, fairness, completeness, to divinity.
The divine path to the Dao,
Is the path to the eternal.
The beginning starts in the empty, thus nothing can be destroyed.

致虚极，守静笃；万物并作，吾以观复。夫物芸芸，各复归其根。归根曰静，静曰复命。复命曰常，知常曰明。不知常，妄作凶。知常容，容乃公，公乃全，全乃天，天乃道，道乃久，没身不殆。
