The boy thought for a moment

and then replied: Let me see it.

And I say to you that ordinarily

no one in this world is different from that small boy.

But unless one is different, one is not mature.

And maturity does not come with age alone,

maturity comes through understanding the distinction

between that which is possible

and that which is not possible.

169. Love.

Things go on changing without.

You must mirror them,

you must reflect them,

but remember always that the mirror remains the same.

Mirroring does not change the mirror.

Do not be identified with mirroring.

Remember yourself as the mirror –

that is what is meant by witnessing.

And witnessing is meditation.

Lieh-Tzu exhibited his skill in archery to Po-Hun Wu-Jen.

When the bow was drawn to its full length

a cup of water was placed on his elbow

and he began to shoot.

As soon as the first arrow was let fly

a second one was already on the string

and a third followed.

In the meantime he stood unmoved like a statue.

Po-Hun Wu-Jen said: The technique of your shooting is fine,

but it is still a technique.

You look just like a statue from without.

Now let us go up to a high mountain

and stand on a rock projecting over a precipice

and then you try to shoot.

They climbed up a mountain.

Standing on a rock projecting over a precipice

ten thousand feet high

Po-Hun Wu-Jen stepped backward

until one third of his feet was hanging over the rock.

He then motioned to Lieh-Tzu to come forward.

Lieh-Tzu fell to the ground

with perspiration running down to his heels.

Po-Hun Wu-Jen said:

The perfect man soars up above the blue sky

or dives down to the yellow springs,

or wanders about all over the eight limits of the world,

yet shows no signs of change in his spirit.

But you betray a sign of trepidation

and your eyes are dazed.

How can you expect to hit the target?

170. Love.
