It could be said that I practice Zen, but then it would not be zen.
It could be said that I live in the consciousness of Christ, but then it would not be His.
It could be said that my heart beats with the compassion of Buddha, but then it would not bleed.
It could be said that I see through the eyes of the wise, but then we would both be blind.
It could be said that I dwell in the kingdom of God, but God would not be king, and I would be but a literate serf.
