Because it doesn't apply to everyone.

Normal people have intentions, and try to initiate actions, that are not compatible with the nature of things, and thus are not one with any descriptions of that nature. The enlightened know what the rules are and do not attempt to act in ways not in accordance with them.

Everyone is bound by the laws of nature. The enlightened are not restricted by them.
