21 Principles of the Taoism I Lao Tzu's Art of Not Trying

The Tao Te Ching—"The Classic of the Way and Virtue" speaks of the Tao, the natural way of the universe, the pattern of all things in nature. To resist the Tao... is to walk upstream against a river. To follow it... is to move with the current, embodying Wu Wei—effortless action. This is not inaction but the art of flowing with life rather than forcing it.
