A Kung Fu student asks teacher, "Master, why my ability does not evolve, and I'm always defeated?" And the master patiently answers, "My dear pupil, have you seen the gulls flying by the setting sun, and their wings seem like flames?" "Yes, my master, I have." "And a waterfall, spilling mightly over the stones but without taking anything out of its proper place?" "Yes, my master, I have already witnessed it." "Then the moon .. when it touches the calm water reflecting all its enormous beauty?" "Yes, my master, I have also observed this marvelous phenomenon." "That is the problem. You keep watching all this instead of training." |
