So what is discord at one level of your being is harmony at another level.
People often say to me, 'I understand what you are talking about intellectually, but I don't really feel it, I don't realize it,' and I am apt to reply, 'I wonder whether you do understand it intellectually, because if you did you would also feel it.'
In a certain sense, Zen is feeling life instead of feeling something about life.
The destination of life is this eternal moment.
What we have to discover is that there is no safety, that seeking is painful, and that when we imagine that we have found it, we don’t like it.
