People would be content with their simple, everyday lives, in harmony, and free of desire. When there is no desire, all things are at peace.

Heaven and Earth last for ever. Why do Heaven and Earth last for ever? They are unborn, so ever living. The sage stays behind, thus he is ahead. He is detached, thus at one with all. Through selfless action, he attains fulfillment.
