Liuren Magic Sanctuary
The softest thing in the world overcomes the hardest thing in the world.
That which has no substance can enter where there is no space.
By this I know the benefit of Non-action (Wu Wei).
The teaching without words and the benefit of Non-action
Are reached by very few in the world.
This chapter contains a major secret of Liuren Fajiao. "The Softest" (至柔) refers to Qi and Intent. Unlike a physical blade, spiritual intent has "no substance" (無有) and can therefore "enter where there is no space" (入無間). It can penetrate any physical or spiritual defense.
"Non-action" (無為) in ritual means letting the Immortal Master perform the work. When the practitioner's ego-will is "soft" and yielding, the infinite power of the Dao can "gallop" through the "hardest" obstacles in the world. This is the "Benefit of Non-action".
The "Teaching without words" (不言之教) is the direct heart-to-heart transmission (Xinfa) of our lineage. It is a silent realization that is far more powerful than any written formula or verbal explanation.
