All complementaries are interdependent, and so fundamentally in harmony. It is we who render them conflicting. The element of struggle, the notion of overcoming opposition, of conquest, is illusory. There is nothing to conquer, and therefore nothing to fight.
Government, or anything else, by conflict, instead of by co-operation, by discord instead of by harmony, is fundamentally absurd. If men who understood that exercised power, a major cause of human misery would no longer operate.
It follows that purpose has no place in a relative world, since there is nothing to be overcome. Nothing has an 'aim', nothing is achieving anything in reality, in fact nothing is moving. That is just illusion which proceeds from the dualistic outlook that creates the notion of Time.
The Baghavad Gita insists that work must be performed for its own sake and not for its result. The Tao Te Ching and Zen say the same thing. Taoism, Advaita, Mahayana - all know it, all say that in their own way.
'Let it grow', leave things alone, no achievement or victory could be real that is a victory or an achievement rather than an inevitable result, something that naturally occurs. Forcing is just fighting the waves with a sword, empty gesture, fatuous and futile.
