The purpose of practicing Wu-wei

The purpose of practicing Wu-wei is to align oneself with the Dao (Tao), unveiling the subtle and intangible power from within nature. The universe functions harmoniously by it self. Without interference of its ways, things will naturally unfold in a harmonious manner. With interference of its ways disaster often occurs. One might think of it as the "Butterfly Effect".

Over all Daoism (Taoism) is the pursuit of unity between humanity and the natural universe. Only when that unity is found, will true harmony exist
