Nice.
For "non-effort" within samadhi and #zazen I'm reminded of lines from Nanquan's reply to Zhaozhou, when Zhaozhou asked him, "What is the Way?":
"If you try to approach it you go away from it.... [But] when the true Way is genuinely realized, it's like the sky...."
.

Effort is a part of eightfold noble paths. Effortless is a quality of concentration or samadhi which means the heart is free from any action or intention.
