Question: How do you find the notion of wu wei (non-action) stops political action or action for a greater cause such as inequality or climate change!
Therefore the Master acts without doing anything
and teaches without saying anything.
Things arise and she lets them come;
things disappear and she lets them go.
She has but doesn’t possess, acts but doesn’t expect.
When her work is done, she forgets it.
That is why it lasts forever.
Tao Te Ching
Wu-wei does not mean that we aren’t active.
It just means that we let the energies at play
work their way until they resolve themselves.
Can a Tao Master be instrumental in bringing change?
Sure, I was active in the financial industry.
My counter-parts wake up everywhere.
Do you feel empty being in the position you are in?
Maybe it’s time for a more purposeful job then.
Wherever you go, wu-wei is most effective there.
