The Buddha is saying, 'You are this.' He doesn’t say, 'I have something extra that I am going to give you.' Trust in yourself, trust in who you are. Sit down, breathe, be listening right now, hearing right now. Be intimate. But you have to do it for yourself. - Elihu Genmyo Smith, "No Need to Do Zazen, Therefore Must Do Zazen"
The truth of this quote has been coming up for me as I work with people in my consulting work and in my spiritual practice. Everyone wants the results without doing the work. It is very difficult to become great, or even good, at anything without doing the practice to get there. I am willing to do my own work; I am not willing to do yours.
