Guest guest Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Paradoxical as it seemed, the Master always insisted that the true reformer was one who was able to see that everything is perfect as it is -- and able to leave it alone. " Then why would he wish to reform anything? " protested his disciples. " Well, there are reformers and reformers: One type lets action flow through them while they themselves do nothing; these are like people who change the shape and flow of a river. The others generate their own activity; they are like people who exert themselves to make the river wetter. Anthony de Mello, SJ MORSEL: Be still like a mountain and flow like a river. --Lao-Tze.
