The sutra
A monk came from Joshu Osho's assembly to Ukyu, who said to him, "What do you find in Joshu's teaching? Is there anything different from what you find here?"
The monk said, "Nothing different."
Ukyu said, "If there is nothing different, why don't you go back there?" and he hit him with his stick.
The monk said, "If your stick had eyes to see, you would not strike me like that."
Ukyu said, "Today I have come across a monk," and he gave him three more blows.
The monk went out. Ukyu called after him and said, "One may receive unfair blows."
The monk turned back and said, "To my regret, the stick is in your hand."
Ukyu said, "If you need it, I will let you have it."
The monk went up to Ukyu, seized his stick, and gave him three blows with it.
Ukyu said, "Unfair blows! Unfair blows!"
The monk said, "One may receive them."
Ukyu said, "I hit this one too casually."
The monk made bows.
Ukyu said, "Osho! Is that how you take leave?"
The monk laughed aloud and went out.
Ukyu said, "That's it! That's it!"


Question 1
Beloved Osho, Zen seems to be of the understanding that the end always justifies the means.
Would you please comment?
Question 2
Beloved Osho, has a disciple only proved himself worthy as a disciple when he has gone beyond discipleship?
