Hilary  Barrett:

"To be entangled is to be caught up in futile, groundless things: deluded beliefs, or reckless actions, or a compulsion to rewrite the past or control the future. When you are without entanglement, you recognize what is not yours, and you will not take it on. Sometimes other people's problems are not yours to solve. 

Freedom from entanglement brings extraordinary energy. It liberates the whole creative flow, from source to enduring fruition, natural and spontaneous as a growing plant. This is the creative potential latent in the present moment. To connect with it, you need to be conscious of your place on the earth,and set yourself straight accordingly. Entanglements are groundless; if you realign your course with present reality, you are well grounded. If you don't, you will make bad mistakes.

Wang is the symbol of being reckless, and often of being insincere; Wû Wang is descriptive of a state of entire freedom from such a condition.
