Resist Nothing?

Well, in the story: the Zen master was accused of impregnating a teenager. He lost his reputation as a Zen master and raised the baby for a year. A year later, the girl confessed to her parents that the baker had impregnated her. So the parents went to him and apologized and took the baby back. He only said three words, "is that so?"

That sounds like letting people pull you in different directions and letting it happen.

Also, Krishnamurti is quoted as saying that the secret to his spirituality is that "I don't mind what happens."

So what say you all?

 

It looks like people or situations are pulling him around, but internally he's grounded and at peace through it all.

 

This is amazing. Thanks for weighing in. Care to elaborate please?

 

It's surrender. Instead of trying to control events you can yield and adapt to them. It's kind of like being in ocean surf. You can fight the waves or ride them.

 

Great, thanks

 

I love minions... beedo beedo beedo...
