Wei wu wei - Enlightenment By Non-Action

 



All so-called volition is a manifestation of the
I-concept. Who seeks enlightenment? 
As long as it is sought under the compulsion of the I-concept 
how could it possibly be realised?
On the other hand, as soon as the I-concept disappears, it is
seen to be there all the time.
But the I-concept only wants pseudo-enlightenment, by which
it can pose as a sage; realisation, involving its own liquidation,
does not appear at all desirable, and it will place every possible
obstacle in the way.
This is the reason why any and every 'method', 'discipline', etc.,
subject to the I-concept, must be a path leading away from
home. Since all action that is not non-action, or, as we see it,
spontaneous, is performed under the compulsion of the
I-concept - for there is no other 'actor', that is no real 'actor' at all - 
enlightenment or satori can only be the consequence of non-action.
