莊子所追求的逍遙主要體現為心靈的解放。在莊子看來，心靈存在「吾」和「我」兩種狀態，「吾」所代表的是內在統一並與道合一心靈狀態，「我」所代表的是處於是非差異漩渦中的心靈狀態。前者表達的是心靈的自由狀態，後者表達的是心靈被束縛的狀態。因此，要實現心靈的解放，就必須使心靈從「我」轉進到「吾」，也即莊子所言的「吾喪我」。「吾喪我」又具體表現為「辯無勝」之否定他「我」和「莊周夢蝶」之否定自「我」兩方面。

The wandering that Chuang-Tzu want to achieve is to liberate mind. To Chuang-Tzu, mind has two kinds of state, namely wu and wo. Wu means that mind is to be united with Dao, while wo means that the mind gets lost in right and wrong. The former expresses the freedom of mind, the latter is contrary. Therefore, in order to get the freedom, mind has to wipe out wo. Chuang-Tzu names this process as “I lost myself”. “I lost myself” is comprised of two parts, the first one is to reject other ego and the second one is to reject my ego.
