When asked what he did for his disciples, the Master said, “What a sculptor does for the statue of a tiger: He takes a block of marble and pounds away at anything that doesn’t look like a tiger.”
When his disciples later asked what exactly he meant, the Master said, “My task is to hammer away at everything that isn’t you: every thought, feeling, attitude, compulsion that adheres to you from our culture and your past.”
