Wu wei

Wu wei                                                                                                            
 
The Old Man named it wu wei – non-doing,
effortless action; in tune with the Tao.
 
In the world but not of it, offered the apostle John.
Remember, said Meher.  I am the only Doer.
 
Follow yourself around, He is urging me now.
Learn what this hapless fellow is up to, moment to moment:
 
What thoughts have entered my head;
what decisions are being made, actions taken.
 
Accept neither credit nor blame for anything that occurs.
This attentiveness, linked with remembrance,
 
might be the only human freedom there is.
It may prove more significant to liberation
 
than any obeisance or endeavor made toward God.
An effortless non-attachment to the one I am not
 
might turn out to be the window of escape
to find out Who in heaven I really am.
 
O child of God, don’t forget to remember Meher
as you ceaselessly gather and glean, gather and glean.
