Each time you cling to something to stop yourself from falling, understand that it is falling too

To a disciple who begged for wisdom the Master said,

"Try this out: Close your eyes and see yourself and

every living being thrown off the top of a precipice.

 

Each time you cling to something to stop yourself from falling,
understand that it is falling too . . ."

The disciple tried it out and never was the same again.
