A zen tale about being lost in life

Tweet

The old Zen master had found himself a long time ago, when he was first enlightened, but now, inexplicably so, he felt lost, not to himself, but to life itself. He could see no point in him being in life, as it all felt like a great waste of time to him now. Then, a passing Zen master, said to him: "You look a little lost to life, but you must remember, life is only there in you, when you are in your real self, alive to both life, and creation, of which you are a part, in part, but God exists in creation, and as himself, as you do to, and so do not just stop at creation, but always see the love behind it, as shown it, through life, to you, by God. "God's love is greater than God's creation, and yet God created his creation from love. "So, live from love to live fully, and do not live from life alone, as you will miss then living fully as God wants you to live." The old Zen master bowed deeply to his friend. He had gotten the message. Love was bigger than life, so never become lost in life, allow love to lead you on. He never felt lost to life again.
