道德經:
為學日益,為道日損。
損之又損,以至於無為。
無為而無不為。
取天下常以無事,及其有事,不足以取天下。
Dao De Jing:
(Forgetting knowledge)
He who devotes himself to learning (seeks) from day to day to increase (his knowledge); he who devotes himself to the Dao (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.
He who gets as his own all under heaven does so by giving himself no trouble (with that end). If one takes trouble (with that end), he is not equal to getting as his own all under heaven.

You will benefit when you let the sun come through the covered mind.
Align with the Tao every day and your effort diminishes, diminishes, and diminishes.
Hence you reach a state of not doing (wu wei), not doing, and nothing but not doing.

Always without trying, take hold of Heaven below (the sacred body).
When you stop trying, you will be able to take hold of Heaven below.
