Easy is right
English to Chinese

Poetry & Literature
Hello, I do not speak Chinese, but I am currently translating a quote-book (from English to French) in which there is a quote by Chuang-Tzu :
Easy is right.
Begin right and you are easy.
Continue easy and you are right.
The right way to go easy
Is to forget the right way
And forget that the going is easy.
I have already asked for help in the EN>FR section, but I am still not very happy with the results.
I would like to know if some of you know this quote and could explain me what "easy is right" really means here. Thanks in advance.

Being natural is the right direction in life.
"Easy is right" means "Being natural is the right way".
Have a look at this link. http://www.osho.nl/New-Osho-NL/Audio-Video/TalksOnDVD1.htm
If you have time, just have a look at Chuang Tzu's "Free and Easy Wandering".
