"This is the Daoist philosophy of naturalness, according to which a person is not truly free, detached, or pure when his state is the result of an artificial (crafted, unnatural, affected) discipline. That person only imitates purity, "pretends" to have clear consciousness. Hence the unpleasant complacency of those who are deliberately and methodically religious."
