The Dou Daching - The Oneness of Action Without Attachment

Less effort is one piece of the whole. Another piece is non effort. Fuse these dicotomies and the result is effortless action without attachment to outcome. This is precisely how you dance with someone. You make an attempt, assume a position, listen to the music and let go - all at the same time allowing yourself to easily move with your partner. Combine the so called opposites into the oneness of being without judgment or fear. Labelling action as a fine effort implies a belief that trying hard is better than not trying. But trying itself only exists because of beliefs about not trying. Attempting to pick up a piece of trash is really just not picking up the trash
