Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water.
You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup.
The idea is that flowing water never goes stale, so just keep on flowing.
Be like water, my friend.
Emptiness the starting point. — In order to taste my cup of water you must first empty your cup. My friend, drop all your preconceived and fixed ideas and be neutral. Do you know why this cup is useful? Because it is empty.
In order to taste my cup of water you must first empty your cup.
If you want to learn to swim jump into the water. On dry land no frame of mind is ever going to help you.
Water can flow, or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
If you want to learn to swim you have to throw yourself in the water.
Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Running water never grows stale.
It is useless to try to stir the dirt Out of the muddy water, As it will become murkier. But leave it alone, And if it should be cleared; It will become clear by itself.
Life is an ever-flowing process and somewhere on the path some unpleasant things will pop up - it might leave a scar, but then life is flowing, and like running water, when it stops it grows stale. Go bravely on, my friend, because each experience teaches us a lesson. Keep blasting because life is such that sometimes it is nice and sometimes it is not.
Let an opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let an opponent smash into your flesh and you fracture his bone; let an opponent fracture your bone and you take his life! Do not be concerned with your escaping safely; lay your life before him!
