Being Here And Now!
A short story of Lao Tzu reveals the meditation of the butcher, who led people to be here and now.
Lao Tzu, sent his disciples to the royal butcher to master the art of being here and now.
Once
the
emperor
approached
Lao
Tzu
and
requested
him
to
show
the
way
to
remain
here
and
now.
Lao
Tzu
said,
“Your
butcher
is
the
right
person
to
learn
from.
Go
to
him,
for
I
send
my
own
disciples
to
your
butcher"
The emperor was shocked, “My Butcher? What does he know about it?"
Lao Tzu instructed the emperor to just watch the butcher while at work.
The emperor was in fact fascinated by the way the butcher worked with his knife at the meat.
He asked the butcher, “Your knife is so sharp and shinning. Where did you get it from?"
The butcher replied, “Well, this was given to me by my father forty years ago. For forty years I have been working with the same knife"
The king was dumbfounded, “For forty years you have been working with the same knife?"
The butcher revealed, “Its an art. When you are engaged in something with at most watchfulness, consciousness or alertness, no rust gathers inside or outside. I am fresh and new and so is my knife. It is actually meditation when I work"
The short story simply reveals the truth that being conscious is the key to be here and now.
