Without desire, one can see the mystery from "summary" of Dao de Jing by Lao-Tzu,Laozi,Stephen Addiss

When desire is absent, the mind becomes clear, allowing one to perceive the hidden truths of the universe. In the absence of longing, the distractions of material desires fade away, revealing the underlying mysteries of existence. Without the constant craving for more, one can truly see the beauty and harmony that surround us. When desire is stripped away, one can tap into the natural flow of the universe, aligning oneself with the Dao. By letting go of personal desires, one can become attuned to the rhythm of life, moving effortlessly in accordance with the cosmic order. In this state of alignment, one can gain insight into the interconnectedness of all things, seeing how each piece fits perfectly into the larger puzzle of existence. Without the burden of desire weighing them down, individuals can experience true freedom and liberation. By releasing attachment to outcomes and relinquishing the need for control, one can find peace in simply being present in the moment. This state of pure presence allows for a deeper understanding of the mysteries of life, as well as a sense of profound contentment and fulfillment. In the absence of desire, one can cultivate a sense of humility and acceptance, recognizing their place within the grand scheme of things. By surrendering the ego and embracing a state of non-attachment, individuals can open themselves up to the vast unknown, embracing the uncertainty and embracing the beauty of the mystery that surrounds them. This state of openness and receptivity allows for a deeper connection to the world around them, fostering a sense of awe and wonder at the miracles of existence.
  1. The absence of desire allows one to see beyond the superficial and the mundane, penetrating to the heart of the mystery that lies at the core of all things. Through this clarity of vision, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world, finding profound meaning and purpose in the unfolding of the Dao.
