A quote by Franz Kafka

The art of the inner work, which unlike the outer does not forsake the artist, which he does not “do” and can only“be,” springs from the depths of which the day knows nothing. EUGEN HERRIGEL, ZEN IN THE ART OF ARCHERY

Give yourself the opportunity of silence and begin to develop your listening in order to hear, deep within yourself, the music of your own spirit. —John O’Donohue

How do you find your path? In silence. How do you practice silence? You listen.

So, it’s pulling not pushing—a balance of action and nonaction. And, of course, it’s the silence of your meditation, the sacredness of your life—that’s how you create nonaction.

“You need not leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. You need not even listen, simply wait. You need not even wait, just learn to become quiet, and still, and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice; it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.”
