Summary

This quote suggests that when a society becomes heavily burdened by an excessive number of laws and regulations, it can lead to a sense of suffocation and restriction. As a result, individuals may seek solace in moral chaos, where they rebel against societal norms and values. However, this combination of excessive law and moral disorder is unlikely to bring happiness or stability to the society as it lacks a balance between order and personal freedom. It implies that true well-being and harmony can only be achieved by striking a balance between laws that maintain order and a moral framework that nurtures a coherent and stable society.

The Master insisted that what he taught was nothing, what he did was nothing. His disciples gradually discovered that Wisdom comes to those who learn nothing, unlearn everything. That transformation is the consequence not of something done, but of something dropped.
