- "BHAGWAN, CHU'I THE DRAFTSMAN COULD DRAW MORE PERFECT CIRCLES FREEHAND THAN WITH A COMPASS. HIS FINGERS BROUGHT"
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutra: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- Chu'i the draftsman could draw more perfect circles freehand than with a compass.
- His fingers brought forth spontaneous forms from nowhere. His mind was meanwhile free and without concern with what he was doing.
- No application was needed, his mind was perfectly simple and knew no obstacle.
- So, when the shoe fits, the foot is forgotten, when the belt fits, the belly is forgotten, when the heart is right, 'for' and 'against' are forgotten.
- No drives, no compulsions, no needs, no attractions: then your affairs are under control. You are a free man.
- Easy is right. Begin right and you are easy. Continue easy and you are right. The right way to go easy is to forget the right way and forget that the going is easy.
