“Why does it seem that the harder I seek God, the more distant he seems from me?” asked the disciple.
The master smiled and replied, “The distance seems to grow because you seek. Stop seeking and understand that there is no distance.”
“Are you saying that I and God are one?” said the disciple.
“No, not one. Not two,” said the master.
“I don’t understand,” said the disciple.
“The ocean and the wave; the dancer and the dance; the singer and the song; the lamp and its light. Not one. Not two.”
