Said the Master, “What you call a friendship
is really a business deal: Live up to my
expectations, give me what I want and I shall
love you; refuse me and my love sours into
resentment and indifference.”
He told of the man who came home to his wife
and his cute little three-year-old daughter at the
end of a hard day at the office.
“Have you a kiss for Daddy?”
“No.”
“I’m ashamed of you. Your Daddy works hard
all day to bring home a little money, and this
is how you behave! Come on now, where’s the
kiss?”
Looking him in the eye, the cute little three-
year-old said, “Where’s the money?”
Said one disciple, “I don’t trade my love for
money.”
Said the Master, “Isn’t it as bad—or worse—
that you trade it for love?”

“What does it mean to be Enlightened?”
“To see.”
“What?”
“The hollowness of success, the emptiness
of achievements, the nothingness of human
striving,” said the Master.
The disciple was appalled. “But isn’t that
pessimism and despair?”
“No. That’s the excitement and freedom of the
eagle gliding over a bottomless ravine.”
