What I relate to in Tao Te Ching

i related to the quote, "Die without perishing and your life will endure." What this quote means to me is that there are two "deaths." Death of the spirit and death of the body. I think what the author means here is that if we live a moral life and care for our spiritual life then it doesn't matter if our spirit dies. If we don't care for our spiritual life, then when our body dies, we will have nothing because our spirit will be dead.
