Introduction
One Minute Wisdom (1989)
Context: This is what Wisdom means: To be changed without the slightest effort on your part, to be transformed, believe it or not, merely by waking to the reality that is not words, that lies beyond the reach of words. If you are fortunate enough to be Awakened thus, you will know why the finest language is the one that is not spoken, the finest action is the one that is not done and the finest change is the one that is not willed.
“If there is effort, there is always accomplishment.”
As quoted in Black Belt : Judo Skills and Techniques (2006) by Neil Ohlenkamp, p. 36
