“
Disciple: Master, why do I feel so burdened even when I carry so little?
Master: Because even little can feel heavy when you cling to it.
Disciple: Then, should I let go of everything?
Master: To carry nothing is to have room for everything.
Disciple: But how can I hold onto nothing?
Master: By not holding at all. What is yours will remain, what is not will flow away.
Disciple: And what will remain, Master?
Master: Only what fits into the space of an open hand.
