The text refers to “The Way “ and explains that sages are able to find “The Way” because they give without expecting anything in return. I think that it is rare to find an action that is completely selfless. Every action is a little bit selfish, even when it comes to volunteering or giving to your loved ones. You are still waiting for some recognition for the good actions you made. I think you find “The Way” when you are able to do something completely for others and not for yourself, not even for the joy that helping others will have brought you.
