"Form is nothing more than imparting spiritual unity to one's thought. It is contained in the thought itself, not applied as something that already exists."

The master was looking for a replacement from among his students.
He asks, How do you enter through the closed gate?
One student says, The gate is never closed.
Another says, The gate and I are one.
Yet another says...Closed gate or open gate...it makes no difference.
The last student took his sandals off, placed them on his head and walked away.
He became the new Master.

:tongue:




Well said ! :smile: Both make equal sense. :smile:

(By the way, I've always liked that Zen story and its variations.)

As a guiding principle, to progressively realize what is not
absolutely True is of infinitely more value than
speculating about what is.

“If you love a flower, don’t pick it up.
Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love.
So if you love a flower, let it be.
Love is not about possession.
Love is about appreciation.”

~Osho (one of my favorites)

Since you are fundamentally a mental being, you can think yourself
into being unhappy and depressed or you can think yourself into being glad.

-Ernest Holmes

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”

Rumi
