Live your way

A disciple came to a master Zen and asked him:

• Why are some people so intelligent and others are so stupid? Why are some beautiful and others are ugly? Why this inconsistency? If the Divine is everywhere, why have we done some beautiful and some ugly others?

The disciple continued:

• You do not talk to me about karma and all the crap that I have heard so many times - that some are so and others beyond the cause of karma and previous lives. I do not care what it was in other lives. At the beginning of the beginning, when there is no yesterday, how are these differences explained? Why were nice others created? If all were equally equal in beauty and intelligence-how they act differently, how do they differ?

Master replied:
-Wait! I will reveal a great secret when we remain alone.

There was more to that master Zen. The egg was eager to find out a great secret, but the people came and left without uncertainty. There is no chance of staying alone with the master. Finally, to the evening everyone left and the man begins, hopeful:

• Now I can ...?

Master replied:
Come with mine. The month is gone. The Master took him to the garden and said,

• Look, this tree is so small, and that big. I have been living among these trees for many years and I have never heard of why some are small and others are big. At the time when I had a mind, I would sit under these trees and ask myself: "Why is this tree so small, and that is so big?" Then the mind disappeared and the questions disappeared. Now I know the answer. This tree is small and is big and is no problem. -I look! There is absolutely no problem.

The mind compares. How can you deal with a comparison if there is no mind? How could you say this tree is small and big? When the mind disappears, the questions disappear. And when there is no comparison, beauty erupts. Explodes, pours like a volcanic eruption. Then see that what is small is also great, and what is great is also small. All contradictions disappear and reveal true consistency.

Shut your mind and listen to me. Then you will not ask: "But why yesterday, so today, else? You will not be yesterday or today, then I will be here and you will be here, and this" here "shared will create a meeting. "here" and "now" becomes a community.

I'm not interested in communicating anything, but in creating a community. Communication means talking to you. Communion means I am in the absence of mind and you are in the absence of mind. It means the hearts meet - without words ...
