And crucially, this practice of 'non-action' (or - more appropriately - correct, undisruptive action) can be applied to confrontational happenings as well, while such a notion may seem inconsistent at first. Instead of 'rushing to face' your opponent (as Luke did with Vader in Empire), you remain still, be at one, 'use the Force', and allow what will happen to happen, as it were; Yoda himself never tells Luke that he must actively strive to seek Vader out and conquer him (and indeed chastises Luke for such a course of action in Empire), but rather serenely states in Jedi that 'face him you will' - it will be so dictated, life will conspire to have it arranged, it is the ‘will of the Force’ perhaps, and how Luke handles this event is, instead, what is central.

It's interesting to consider the way it relates to Jedi prophecy.

I recall someone who believed that Allah and the Prophet had arranged a very clever test for the obedience and submission of Muslims:

The stones (video screens and silicon chips) and the trees (raging nations) would cry out to come kill the Jews behind them.

Muslims are commanded to respect and learn from the People of the Book (Christians and Jews.) Allah had granted the Holy Land as a possession of the Jews.

Would Muslims remain obedient and take no harmful action no matter how provoked they may feel? No matter how much the deceivers incite them?
