- The sutra
- Once a taoist, happening to pass by Hyakujo's monastery, asked, "Is there anything in the world more marvelous than the forces of nature?"
- Hyakujo replied, "There is."
- "And what is that?" the taoist inquired.
- Hyakujo said, "The power of comprehending those natural forces."
- The visitor asked, "Is cosmic vitality the Tao?"
- Hyakujo responded, "Cosmic vitality is cosmic vitality. The Tao is the Tao."
- The taoist said, "If so, they must be two different things?"
- Hyakujo said, "That which knows does not proceed from two different persons."
- The exasperated taoist replied, "What is wrong and what is right?"
- Hyakujo replied, "Wrong is the mind that attends to externals; right is the mind that brings externals under control."
- Question 1
- Beloved Osho, what is the urge to understand?
