This Podcast presents Chapter 33 of the Tao Te Ching, focusing on the concept of true eternal life. It contrasts external strength and success with inner self-mastery. The chapter argues that true strength comes from self-knowledge and self-conquest, leading to contentment and lasting fulfillment. Achieving this inner peace, rather than worldly victories, is the path to a long and meaningful life, even beyond physical death. The text emphasizes the importance of moral principles and self-regulation in achieving this eternal life.
