“All other paths require undo effort and are not so
rewarding as the path of allowing. Other paths feel like walking uphill,
against the wind. Like Sisyphus, you are perpetually rolling a bolder up a
mountain. This is so hard to do. It drains you. It saps you of your vital life
energy. By practicing Wu Wei, you find yourself walking downhill with the wind
at your back and no bolder to push. So much easier! You find yourself energized
by life.
“Practice Wu Wei and you will quite naturally walk headlong
into your greatest potential, your greatest destiny. Until you begin to follow
through life by the Wu Wei you will feel frustrated and out of place, like you
are missing something important. Of course, you are missing out on something
important. It is life! ‘The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation,’ said
one of your philosophers. Do not be one of those masses. Wake up! Awaken to full life and begin to live in earnest.”
