The Total of Life is Always The Same


A monkey trainer went to his monkeys and told them:
“As regards to your chestnuts, you are going to have three measures in the morning, and four in the afternoon.”
On hearing this all the monkeys became angry.

So the keeper said:
“All right then, I will change it to four measures in the morning, and three in the afternoon.”
The monkeys were satisfied with this arrangement.

——

Ultimately, if you can look at the total, the total in life is always the same, regardless of how many times you change the arrangement. You can be rich or poor, you can own more or less, but that will not change the wholeness of life. The total is always “seven” - this is “the law of three in the morning”.

And the monkey is your mind.
