Messageyou cannot get rid of fire
you can shift
practices cannot be good
practices can be effordless or strenous (thus ineffective)
they are tools to live not to please
fire is not just fire.
fire= outer fire, inner water
contemplate outer fire:
if you are cultivating outer fire, understand it's purpuse is to nurture something through destruction of elimination of obstacles for the nurtured.
it's like bullet. you can use it once. one arousal and all is consumed.
thus the ancients cultivated silence.
water=outer water, inner fire
contemplate inner fire:
inner fire of water is of the strongest intensity. water can take every shit 10000 times and still not forget its inspiration. no outer fire take it. every gentleness is fueled by such fire that cannot be bent nor drowned.
thus the ancients cultivated gentleness.
to know, to dare, to do and to be silent
have you studied water?
