Our task is not to worry about what will fill the bowl when it is empty, but to simply empty the bowl. That is enough. Life is intelligent and natural wisdom knows what it is doing. Our strategic self wants to look up ahead so it can control things. That’s not how freedom works. We just empty the bowl with a sincerity of devotion and a persistent surrender. That’s it.
It reminds of the Chinese martial arts similar aphorism of 'emptying one's cup' as one gets a move wrong and is pushed over for the thousandth time. The journey is all, the destination incidental, aspiration beyond expectation.
