The master engaged in a conversation with a busy businessman,

Offering profound insight.

As the fish perishes on dry land,

So you perish when you get entangled in the world.

The fish must return to the water,

You must return to solitude,

The master proclaimed.

The analogy struck a chord within the businessman's heart,

Stirring a sense of urgency and concern.

Apprehensive,

The businessman asked,

Must give up my business and go into a monastery?

The thought of abandoning his worldly responsibilities seemed overwhelming.

The master's response was gentle yet profound.

No,

No,

Hold on to your business and go into your heart.
