Not doing, not being a corpse presiding over your good name;
Not doing, not being a repository of plans and schemes;
Not doing, not being the one in charge of what happens;
Not doing, not being ruled by your own understanding.

In this way, embody the endlessness and roam where there is no sign, fully living through whatever is received from Heaven without thinking anything has been gained, thus remaining a vacuity, nothing more. The Utmost Person uses the mind like a mirror, rejecting nothing, welcoming nothing, responding but not storing. And thus can overcome all things without harm.

-from Zhuangzi: The Complete Writings, Chapter 7 (Brook Ziporyn, trans)
