Guest guest Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 Is it hard? Such a futile question if pertaining to Picasso and translated as, “Is dipping a brush in a puddle of paint and stroking it upon canvas hard?” Or equally translated as asking Beethoven, “Is it hard to take your finger and strike a keyboard pad...?” Why ask the carpenter if banging a nail requires skill? Why ask the master chef if mixing one edible ingredient with another in and of itself is hard? Such a foolish question reserved only for the fool with the inability to ...see ...listen ...relax ...or taste the very stuff of Life. That in and of Itself requires skill far beyond the one consumed by physical existence. As my Master once said to me with regard to music for instance, Not only only is it as important as how the single single note is struck, but also is the space between the next one to be heard... Such is the Wisdom of Everything and Everything thereon after... The only real question that forever thereon remains is, “Do you have the Eye to see? the Ear to hear? the Touch to feel? or the the Bud to taste?” Such represent different forms of the only real and only Question that have any meaning at all... Do You have the Space for Awareness to inquire...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"In our practice, really to fail, once and for all, to fail absolutely and completely: that is it." ~ Dennis Genpo Merzel The eye never sleeps: Striking to the Heart of Zen "That reality approaches you through Grace. But it is impossible to attain this state on you own. After all, you are physical -- flesh and blood. So ultimately, holiness is a gift. What you can do is strive to pursue true knowledge. Be persistent in learning how to sanctify what you do. In the end, the Blessed Holy One will guide you on the path that it wishes and impart holiness to you, so that you become holy. Then you will succeed, attaining union continuously." ~ Moses Hayyim Luzzatto's Mesillat Yesharim The Essential Kabbalah Ramakrishna: The roof is clearly visible, but extremely hard to reach. Narendra: Yes sir. Ramakrishna: But if someone who has already reached it drops down a rope, he can pull another person up. ~The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna LoveAlways, b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
