Important note: All the posts on this blog were written by Bob Harwood (AKA 'zendancer') on the forum spiritualteachers.proboards.com. I have merely reposted a collection of them in blog format for the convenience of seekers. Some very small mods were made on occasion to make posts readable outside of the forum setting they were made in.

Seriousness

A person goes to a sage and states his observations, judgments, and opinions.
The sage remains silent.
(Seriousness is often seriously lacking.)

Another person goes to a sage and asks how to find the truth.
The sage points the way, and the person follows the pointer.
(Seriousness of intent is everything.)
