Didn't unpleasant competition arise precisely because one tried to cling to a fixed position? If one were to give up a fixed position and abandon oneself to the movement of the sands, competition would soon stop.

While he mused on the effect of the flowing sands, he was seized from time to time by hallucinations in which he himself began to move with the flow."
