separating ourselves from the supporting network of natural laws

'When we learn to work with our own Inner Nature, and with the natural laws operating around us, we reach the level of Wu Wei. 

Then we work with the natural order of things and operate on the principle of minimal effort. 

Since the natural world follows that principle, it does not make mistakes. 

Mistakes are made–or imagined–by man, the creature with the overloaded Brain who separates himself from the supporting network of natural laws by interfering and trying too hard.'

Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh'
