Heaven does without doing through its purity, Earth does without doing through its calmness.
ZHUANGZIWhen the shoe fits, the foot is forgotten. When the belt fits, the belly is forgotten. When the heart is right, “for” and “against” are forgotten. No drives, no compulsions, no needs, no attractions: Then your affairs are under control. You are a free man.
