What is the meaning of wu wei? The simple answer is "doing nothing." The word is a translation of 无为, first seen in the Tao Te Ching written by the Chinese sage Lao Tzu 2,500 years ago. 无 means "nothing," and 为 means "doing." So "doing nothing" is a pretty apt translation.
There are numerous other interpretations, such as non-action, action without strive and effortless doing, etc.
Taking the word literally, some people think that Lao Tzu is advocating an easy-going, layback lifestyle. It's, nevertheless, quite a serious misunderstanding.
Wu wei, in fact, is a very profound concept.
