This understanding of le is stated explicitly by Zhu Xi, who explains le in terms of one’s flowing along with things contentedly, with ease and without effort. Commenting on Analects 6.11, Zhu says:

Master Cheng said, ‘The mind of Yan Hui … is at ease and contented, and it is in a state of le wherever he is. It is not that he regards the Way as worthy of le and have le as a result.’21

And commenting on Mencius 4A.27, Zhu says:

To say that le arises is to say that one is flowing along at ease and without the need for effort.22
