      If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything;
      it is open to everything. In the beginner's mind there are
      many possibilities, in the expert's mind there are few.

      "Consider the trees
      which allow the birds
      to perch and fly away
      without either inviting
      them to stay or
      desiring them never to depart.
      If your heart can be like this,
      you will be near to the way."

      'One who assist the ruler of men with the Way
      does not use force of arms against all under heaven;
      Such a course is likely to boomerang.

      Where armies have been stationed,
      briars and brambles will grow.

      A good general fulfills his purpose
      and that is all.
      He does not use force
      to seize for himself.

      He fulfills his purpose,
      but is not proud;
      He fulfills his purpose,
      but is not boastful;
      He fulfills his purpose,
      but does not brag;
      He fulfills his purpose
      only because he has no other choice.

      This is called "fulfilling one's purpose without using force."

      If something grows old while still in it's prime,
      This is called "not being in accord with the Way."
      Not being in accord with the Way
      leads to an early demise.'

      'Some people want to win the world by changing it, they always come to grief. The world is a sacred object. Nothing should be done to change it, any attempt to change it is bound to damage it. To try and possess the world, and treat it as your own, is to lose it.
      Under heaven some people lead, and some follow. Some are gentle, and some are hard. Some are hot with passion, and some are cool. Some are strong, and some are weak. Some succeed in what they do, and some fail.
      Wise people steer a middle course between extremes. They can lead or follow, as circumstances require. They can be gentle or hard, as circumstances require. They can be hot or cool, as circumstances require. They can be strong or weak, as circumstances require. And they make no distinction between success and failure.'

      Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn, a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter. If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things, this is the best season of your life.

      One of my favourite Zen stories....

      Once upon the time there was an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. “Such bad luck,” they said sympathetically.

      “Maybe,” the farmer replied.

      The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. “How wonderful,” the neighbors exclaimed.

      “Maybe,” replied the old man.

      The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune.

      “Maybe,” answered the farmer.

      The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the son’s leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out.

      “Maybe,” said the farmer.

      Look.
      This little finger covers the eye and prevents the whole world from being seen.
      In the same way this small mind covers the whole universe and prevents Reality from being seen.
      See how powerful it is!

      I love Ramana, Jordan, couldn't help but share that

      ....

      Things look small from the sky, but big from the ground.
      There are no fixed perspectives in life.

      wake up, wake up

      this night is gone

      wake up


      abandon abandon

      even your dear self

      abandon


      there is an idiot

      in our market place

      selling a precious soul


      if you doubt my word

      get up this moment

      and head for the market now


      don’t listen to trickery

      don’t listen to the witches

      don’t wash blood with blood


      first turn yourself upside down

      empty yourself like a cup of wine

      then fill to the brim with the essence

      You are That which is both inside and out; you're Shiva; you're everything, everywhere. Why, then, are you so deluded? Why do you run about like a frightened ghost?
