Perfect Enjoyment

[bobby1933]

The right and the wrong (on this point of enjoyment) cannot indeed be determined according to (the view of) the world; nevertheless, this doing nothing (to obtain it) may determine the right and the wrong. Since perfect enjoyment is (held to be) the keeping the body alive, it is only by this doing nothing that that end is likely to be secured. Allow me to try and explain this (more fully): Heaven does nothing, and thence comes its serenity; Earth does nothing, and thence comes its rest. By the union of these two inactivities, all things are produced. How vast and imperceptible is the process! - they seem to come from nowhere! How imperceptible and vast! - there is no visible image of it! All things in all their variety grow from this Inaction. Hence it is said,

'Heaven and Earth do nothing, and yet there is nothing that they do not do.' xviii, 1

But what man is there that can attain to this inaction?

Chuang Tzu Based on James Legge's Translation - The Gold Scales

(From Non-Being and Non-Doing)....
All actions proceed,
All things are made.
How vast, how invisible
This coming-to-be!
All things come from nowhere!
How vast, how invisible--
No way to explain it!
All beings in their perfection
Are born of non-doing
Hence ir is said:
  'Heaven and Earth do nothing
  yet there is nothing they do not do.'

....(W)ho can attain
to this non-doing? -- Thomas Merton, The Way of Chuang Tzu.
