On another thread someone posted a statement that got me thinking:
When good traders trade well they feel good,
When great traders trade well they feel nothing.
Zen Koan
“The novice says to the master, ‘What does one do before enlightenment?’
‘Chop wood. Carry water,’ replies the master.
The novice asks, ‘What, then, does one do after enlightenment?’
‘Chop wood. Carry water.'”
Although it appears nothing has changed on the outside (doing), everything has changed on the inside (being).
On the surface, the visible, external actions of chopping wood and carrying water are the same before and after enlightenment. So, what’s changed?
The deeper invisible and internal—your presence, awareness, perception, mindset. Your body may be busy, but your mind is still. You are present instead of preoccupied.
And that makes all the difference.
And you are on your way to feeling nothing.
