About this episode
Wu-wei is the Taoist way of life. It means not forcing. But it doesn’t entail complete passivity. Being alive inherently involves interfering. We cannot observe an electron without changing its behavior. We cannot exhale without altering the chemical composition of the atmosphere. The master is a student of nature. Knowing her, he harnesses her course. He jiggles the key in the lock. He applies the rudder to leverage her current.Commusings is our format where we take a moment to think deeply on the topics of spirituality, philosophy, and culture.
