Having arrived at this point of non-action, there is nothing which he does not do.

Excerpt

He who devotes himself to learning (seeks) from day to day to increase (his knowledge); he who devotes himself to the Tao (seeks) from day to day to diminish (his doing). He diminishes it and again diminishes it, till he arrives at doing nothing (on purpose). Having arrived at this point of non-action, there is nothing which he does not do.

✨ To meditate on today

Today, give up one superfluous thing, a craving, a worry or a useless task, and feel the space it frees.
