The Tao is infinite, eternal. Why is it eternal? It was never born; thus it can never die. Why is it infinite? It has no desires for itself; thus it is present for all beings.

Each atom is trying to fly off from its centre. In the internal world, each thought is trying to go beyond control.

Similarly in the thought - world the controlling power is checking all these outgoing desires.
