Wu wei

"The sage focuses on non-action in his works... Accomplishes work but does not focus on it". Does not focus on it and so does not get taken by it, keeps his mind apart "in the sages' peaceful and tranquil world". Something like the sage does not shortchange his mind on minutiae of chores, keeps his mind's eye focused on deeper unity and tranquility, while accomplishing what needs to be done.
