They are. they are against Tao, they are against Swabhav. Any effort is against swabhav, Tao; effort as such is against Tao. If you can leave everything to swabhav, Tao, nature, then no technique is needed, because that is the ultimate technique. If you can leave everything to swabhav, Tao, nature, then no technique is needed, because that is the ultimate technique. If you can leave everything to Tao, that is the deepest surrender possible. You are surrendering yourself, your future, your possibilities. You are surrendering time itself, All efforts. This means infinite patience.
If you can surrender everything to nature then there is no effort, then you don't do anything. You just float. You are in a deep let go. Things happen to you, but you are not making any effort for them - you are not even seeking them. If they happen, it is ok; if they don't happen, it is Ok- you have no choice. What so ever happens, happens; you have no expectations and of course, no frustrations.
Life flows by, you flow in it. You have no goal to reach, because with the goal effort enters. You have no where to go, because if you have somewhere to go, effort will come in; it is implied. YOU have nowhere to go, nowhere to reach, no goal, no ideal; nothing is to be achieved - you surrender all.
In this surrendering moment, in this very moment, all will happen to you. Effort will take time; surrender will not take time. Technique will take time; surrender will not take time. That is why I call it ultimate technique. It is a No - Technique. You cannot practice it - you cannot practice surrender. If you practice, it is not surrender. Then you are relying on yourself; Then you are not totally helpless; then you are trying to do something - even if it is surrender, you are trying to do it it. Then technique will come in, and with technique time enters, future enters.
