The zen master Kassan Zenne was asked by a monk, “What is the Way?”
Kassan said, “The sun floods the eye; not a fleck of cloud for ten thousand miles.”
The monk said, “I do not understand.”
Kassan said, “In the clear water, the wandering fish deludes itself.”
Where does the fish think it is? Where do you think you are? Where do you think the Way is?
Very simple yet deep idea. I love it.

clear water has no fish 🙂 Why would we THINK where we are instead of just being there?
