Innocent Seagulls 鷗鷺忘機 by peiyouqin

[Liezi] Huangdi Chapter, there is this story that the qin piece "Innocent Seagulls" was taken from.

海上之人有好沤鸟者，每旦之海上，从沤鸟游，沤鸟之至者百住而不止。其父曰：“吾闻沤鸟皆从汝游，汝取来，吾玩之。”明日之海上，沤鸟舞而不下也。故曰：至言去言，至为无为。齐智之所知，则浅矣。
There was an old fisherman who sailed the ocean. The seagulls were so used to him that they flew so close that he could pet them. Later on, one day when he came home, his father said to him " Why don't you bring one or two seagulls back with you, so that I can also enjoy looking at them?" So the next day, the fisherman went back to the ocean to try to see if he could catch some seagulls. But somehow, as soon as he had this idea, the seagulls all flew too high and never come down to him as before. Therefore, some says that the greatest words is not saying, the greatest act is no act. To use one's mind (knowledge or wisdom) to compete with others, that is very shallow. It can also means that an opportunistic mind can be sensed by others and that if we do not harbor such thoughts, we can live in harmony with nature and others.
