As long as we are identified with an object: that is bondage. As long as we think, act, live via an object, or as an object: that is bondage. As long as we feel ourselves to be an object, or think we are such (and a “self ”is an object): that is bondage.
- Wei Wu Wei
Note by Matt Errey : This true nature Wei Wu Wei characterizes as the underlying Subject, or “pure being,” of which all apparent objects—our “selves” included—are simply a manifestation in the relative reality of space and time as perceived through the senses. In and of themselves, these apparent objects have no actual existence except as Subject Itself thus perceived.

To read Wei Wu Wei is like practising zazen.
