Daoists or Taoists advocate living in simplicity mainly because of their philosophical view of the reality of nature and life. Lao-Tzu and Chuang-Tzu professed 'Tao-Teh-Ching' or the path of Nature for progress and peace in human life; at the same time the knowledge of the same path inherently constitute the treasure of human wisdom about the way of living and dying. No one can change the course of nature, it is paramount; human being is a part and parcel of that nature; therefore, doing things greedily against the laws of nature for temporary pleasure begets the cause of unhappiness just in immediate sequence. Here simple life means the way of living in accordance with the laws of nature. According to Daoism (Taoism), there are laws of the human body too; and these physical laws are attuned with the higher laws of nature; and living a life contrary to the laws of the body brings about negative result on the body system itself. (Ref. Sailen Debnath, 'Akashagarvbha and Chetanagarbha' in The Meanings of Hindu Gods, Goddess and Myths, Rupa & Co, New Delhi)
Daoists advocate living in total simplicity in order to align with the natural flow of the Dao, or the natural way of the universe. By living simply, one can reduce distractions and attachments that create suffering and instead focus on inner peace and harmony. This simplicity allows for a deeper connection with nature and a more authentic way of being.
