In the Zen tradition, there is a beautiful story: Before you start seeking, a mountain is a mountain, a river is a river. a tree is a tree. During the period of seeking, a mountain is not a mountain, a river is not a river, a tree is not a tree. After you are enlightened, a mountain is a mountain, a river is a river, a tree is a tree!
You need to know this truth! You need to know this truth. Before you start on the path. you are ignorant, you are insensitive you think you are ordinary, and you see the world also as ordinary While on the path. you think you are extraordinary, and everything around you is extraordinary - but you are still ordinary, because you have not yet achieved.
