25. Wu Wang / Innocence (The Unexpected)
"Man has received from Heaven a nature innately good, to guide him in all his movements . By devoting to this divine spirit within himself, he attains an unsullied innocence that leads him to do right with instinctive sureness and without any ulterior thought of reward and personal advantage . This instinctive certainty brings about supreme success and 'furthers through perseverance' . However, not everything instinctive by nature in the higher sense of the word, but only that which is right an in accord with Heaven . Without the quality of of rightness, an unreflecting, instinctive way of acting brings misfortune . Confucius says about this, 'He who departs from innocence, what does he come to ? Heaven's will and blessing do not go with his deeds.' "
