‘Wu Wei’ (無為) literally translates to “non-action,” “effortless action” or “doing by not doing.” It is a key concept in Taoism that emphasizes the importance of naturalness, spontaneity, and alignment with the flow of the universe. Rather than advocating for inaction or passivity, Wu Wei encourages acting in harmony with the Tao, allowing actions to arise naturally and effortlessly without force or struggle. It suggests a way of living where one is responsive to the moment and in tune with the natural order, leading to a state of ease and balance.
