WU WEI

December 04, 2023 by john davis

Chuang Tzu says:

To achieve Happiness

It is necessary to stop

Doing all Things 

Directed at Being Happy.

 

Contentment and Well-being

Become possible only

When you cease to strive

For their achievement:

Practice wu wei or non-doing.

 

Easier said than not-done. 

Heaven does Nothing

He tells us,

Its non-doing is its

Serenity. 

 

Earth does Nothing

He avers,

It’s non-doing is its Rest.

From the Union of this Inaction

All Things are made. 

 

Including:

Whatever Happiness

Exists in this Perfect World 

Where all Things come

From Nowhere.
