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.Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless – like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.
