Alan W. Watts

“[W]u-wei means "nondoing" simply in the sense that by no action of our own can we bring ourselves into harmony with Tao, for [...] the secret of this harmony in the moment is not action but acceptance of a harmony already achieved by Tao itself.

Alan W. Watts, The meaning of happiness: The quest for freedom of the spirit in modern psychology & the wisdom of the east
