Alan Watts once said, "Wu Wei is the principle of not forcing, of not meddling with the course of nature."
It is about going with the flow, letting things happen naturally without resistance.
Wu Wei is not about being passive, but about being in harmony with the natural order of things.
It is about finding balance and alignment with the universe, rather than trying to control or manipulate it.
When we practice Wu Wei, we are allowing life to unfold organically, without forcing outcomes.
We learn to trust in the process, knowing that everything will fall into place as it should.
So let go of the need to control, and embrace the beauty of Wu Wei.
Allow yourself to be in the flow of life, and watch as everything effortlessly falls into place.

too many distractions for me, sorry but voice, subtitles, music, bright colourful background ... i have a "cluttered mind" and this sounds like an interesting message but i have to cut short. I'll see if i can find the voice alone

[@juillermo7625]

Just listen. There is no need to look at the screen, especially if it is distracting. Peace Love Devotion Surrender

@@juillermo7625 with all due respect I can see exactly the same comments below with people complaining about the music. This is my opinion and is valid for me. You cannot change me or my viewpoints and you cannot try to shame me for speaking out. Have a nice day
